No arm twisting, it's only cricket after all but definitely as a means to show displeasure. India doesn't need but if PCB continues to insist, BCCI would have to make pro forma noises. This is not the GoI's doing as much as it is the BCCI's. You may believe what you wish. BCCI will make...

It will be a political call when a decision is taken. There are security implications but that is manageable. It is pretty much begging. BCCI does not need PCB, the PCB needs the money & badly. The not playing in UAE is unlikely to be a GoI decision primarily, more the decision of Shashank...

Subject to BCCI getting permission from the GoI . That indignity is already being heaped on you. Pakistan has been begging India non-stop and even if they tour gets a go ahead, they will play in Sri Lanka, not Pakistan or your alternate home ground, UAE.. It has nothing to do with this...

Nope. Just a member of Parliament.

No fine payable. BCCI had put in a clause specifying that any series will be subject to government approval & that the BCCI would not be liable if that approval is not given.

Did you watch it? Superb stuff. Watch from 00:58 onwards.

Can Paris climate talks overcome the India challenge? Justin Rowlatt South Asia correspondent 26 November 2015 If any single country embodies the challenge of reaching an agreement at the huge United Nations climate conference that begins in Paris on Monday, it is India. India is already...

Pointless. We are a country that cannot even remember the day with the solemnity that it deserves. Otherwise the big mouths of the BCCI would not have chosen this day - 26/11 to announce that they plan on playing cricket with Pakistan (provided GoI agrees). They couldn't even wait till...

It's something I have always thought & voiced. That the job & mission of a political party is to increase its appeal by expanding the vote base available. If you are a party of the "rich", you increase your appeal by adding numbers to the "rich" list.....or by appealing to those who want to...

Been wondering that myself. Don't know whether it is the desperation in the Pakistani state apparatus to get some attention from the Modi government on engagement or whether it is the pressure on militant groups to launch more brazen & spectacular attacks to remain a drawing point for recruits...
