Pakistan has no guts not to play World Cup in India: Ashwin

India-Pakistan war of words continues over the Asia Cup. India will not go to Pakistan to play the Asia Cup. And in response, Pakistan also threatened not to play the World Cup in India. After so long, Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin opened his mouth about the matter. Even if India does not play in Pakistan, Pakistan is bound to come to India, he claimed recently. Team India’s all-rounder said these things in a video message.

 

According to Ashwin, Pakistan is bound to come. This has happened before. Recently on his YouTube channel, Ashwin said, “Pakistan has said before that they will not come to India to play. Whenever we say that we will not go to play in Pakistan, they also refuse to come to India. But I think that is not possible. Pakistan has to come to India to play. That is the reality.”

 

A large portion of ICC’s income comes from Indian cricket. Ashwin commented that if India refuses to play in any tournament, it will be ICC’s loss. Therefore, Ashwin feels that Pakistan does not have the courage even if the Indian team refuses to play in Pakistan. The all-rounder also said, “ICC is dependent on India playing or not playing in any of the ICC competitions. ICC knows that if India does not play, ICC will face financial loss. And ICC will never want them to suffer.”

 

Ashwin also said, “Cricket is our big market in the world. That’s why ICC gives so much importance to India. But if Pakistan doesn’t come to India in ODI World Cup, then ICC or Pakistan don’t care.And it can’t even affect such a big competition. No matter what Pakistan says, they are bound to come to India to play. “



Meanwhile, in a recent meeting of the Asian Cricket Council, there was a glimpse of changing the venue of the Asia Cup. In the meeting, the venue of the Asia Cup was moved from Pakistan, but PCB Chairman Najam Shetty did not object. According to Indian media sources, the Pakistan Cricket Board is in financial trouble at the moment. And if they host the Asia Cup, there will be a possibility of financial loss for them. But if the venue is moved, it will be to their advantage in terms of making money. So the PCB chief did not go into any conflict about this. However, even if the venue is shifted from Pakistan, it will be known next March.

The India-Pakistan cold war over the venue of the upcoming Asia Cup has been going on for a long time. It has been said that India will not play in Pakistan if the venue of the Asia Cup is in Pakistan. On the other hand, Pakistan also did not leave the argument. The Pakistan Cricket Board also warned that if India did not play in Pakistan, Pakistan would not be able to play the World Cup in India. Pakistan attacked the International Cricket Council in the dispute over the venue of the Asia Cup. Meanwhile, Pakistan’s legendary cricketer Javed Miandad demanded the ICC to take action against India.

 

Last year, the war of words was mainly started by the secretary of the Indian Cricket Board, Jai Shah. He said “If the venue of the Asia Cup is in Pakistan, India will not play there. This matter is being looked at by the Indian government. Considering the situation, the venue of the Asia Cup should be at a neutral place”. Jai Shah’s comment went viral. The head of Pakistan Board Ramiz Raja also threatened India by saying “We want India to come to Pakistan to play the Asia Cup. If they do not come to Pakistan to play the Asia Cup then Pakistan will also boycott the 2023 World Cup held in India. We will not go there”.

 

Pakistan’s legendary cricketer Javed Miadad has directly demanded action against India from the highest governing body of cricket, ICC. Recently, he expressed extreme anger in a meeting of the Asian Cricket Council. Javed Miandad said, “Why should India not come to Pakistan to play the Asia Cup? It is the responsibility of the ICC to bring India to Pakistan to play the Asia Cup. And they cannot abdicate themselves from this responsibility.”

 

The meeting of the Asian Cricket Council said that the venue of the Asia Cup will be moved elsewhere. The name will be announced next March. But Javed Miandad is stuck on this issue. He also said, “If India doesn’t come to play in Pakistan, it won’t come. It doesn’t matter to us. Let them go to hell, what do we care about! I have always supported Pakistan, still do. Whenever Pakistan is in trouble with India, I never support India.” Not giving up. Not saying yet. We should look at ourselves. We should do what seems right to us and fight for it. We should not back down for India.”

 

Meanwhile, according to Indian media sources, if Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma do not play the Asia Cup, no sponsors will come, arguing that the Indian Cricket Board will play cricket in a different venue instead of Pakistan. That is why it has been decided to change the venue of the Asian Cricket Council meeting. If the venue of the Asia Cup is not in Pakistan, there is a possibility that it will be in the UAE. However, the final decision will be taken in March.

IPL Can’t Survive Centenary: Ian Botham

IPL is number one among the most expensive franchise leagues in the world. In terms of popularity and money, this cricket franchise league can compete with European football clubs. Cricket lovers all over the world eagerly wait to enjoy it. Big cricket stars also look forward to performing here. The Indian Cricket Board is keeping no shortage of arrangements for the upcoming season of IPL. Its property has been sold at a high price. But can the IPL hold this passion? Recently, former England legend Ian Botham criticized the IPL.

 

Despite the popularity of IPL all over the world, former cricketers often criticize IPL. The T20-based league has come under increasing criticism that Test cricket’s appeal is being lost due to the money crunch in this T20-based league. Former English star Botham commented that this IPL is the reason why Test cricket in India has lost its zeal.

 

Botham also claimed that just as Test cricket has retained its appeal, the IPL cannot. He said, “When you visit India, you can see that there is not so much talk about Test cricket. Test matches are held in empty stadiums. No one comes to watch Test matches there, they see something else. For them, cricket means IPL. IPL matches are seen with a gallery full of spectators. Everyone is making a lot of money in the IPL, that’s nice to hear. But can IPL retain its appeal? What do you all think? Test cricket has retained its appeal for centuries. But I can assure you, IPL will lose its appeal in centuries. .”

 

According to this former English star cricketer, cricket will disappear from the world if Test cricket goes up. He also said, “If there is no Test cricket, then there will be no cricket. This cricket will disappear from the world. Then there will be no meaning in playing cricket. And nobody will play meaningless cricket. Cricketers should be more focused on Test cricket. They  should dream of playing more Test matches. So that cricket does not disappear from the world.”

 

He further said, “In England, Test matches are not played in empty galleries. We Englanders are very lucky in that respect. Even in Test matches, stadium galleries are filled with spectators. If you go to Australia, you will see the same thing there. 70-80 thousand spectators watch Test matches there too. . But you won’t find that anywhere else in the world. And we can count ourselves lucky in that regard.”

 

Note that franchise leagues continue to be criticized. Earlier, Australia’s star cricketer David Warner expressed concern about the future of Test cricket due to this franchise league based on T-20. However, the popularity of the franchise leagues does not stop there. A few days ago, the price of the broadcasting rights of the upcoming IPL went up to more than 48 thousand crore rupees. Apart from the criticism, the authorities are not holding back on its organization. This season of IPL will start from March 25 and will end on May 28

Australia is going to play the Test series against India from February 9. This is a very important series for the Indian team. Meanwhile, Rishabh Pant, an important member of the team, is missing. But former Indian wicketkeeper batsman Saba Karim is not worried about that. He thinks Indians will not feel the lack of panth in this series. He also believes that India has the ability to win against Australia, whether at home or abroad. According to Saba Karim, Virat Kohli taught India how to win. Recently, this former cricketer of Team India made such a comment.

 

According to Saba Karim, one area that Team Australia can hit in India in the upcoming Border – Gavaskar Trophy is the wicketkeeper. In the interview, he said, “The place where Australia will try to compete with India is wicketkeeper. Rishabh Pant has taken himself to a unique place in Test cricket. He changed the way of Test cricket.But I don’t think India will miss Pant much in the Australia series. “



India have their losing record on Australian soil. According to Saba Karim, Kohli taught it. He also said, “Team India showed their power in 2014-15. Then we toured Australia and left our mark. We lost them on their soil. And the entire credit goes to Virat Kohli. He was the one who made the Indian cricket team believe whether it was at home or abroad. It’s possible to beat Australia anywhere, be it on the ground.”

 

The former Indian also told the road to India’s victory against Australia. He said, “India now needs to take Test cricket to the top. And for that it needs to prepare the right wickets.A wicket is needed where a Test match can last for less than 3-4 days. The third day should focus on turning the ball around the wicket without looking too much at spin aids. And it will increase the excitement of the match and it will be good for the team. And to go to the top of the Test rankings, Australia must lose this series. “

 

It should be noted that this time, Team Australia did not play any preparatory match in the tour of India. Cricketers on overseas tours usually do not play in the main matches without playing warm-up matches. But Australia is making special preparations to come out stronger against Rohit-Kohli without playing warm-up matches. The Australian team has already completed the plan about how to play on which pitch in India, how to play against whom.
