Pakistan Qualify For ICC Champion Trophy 2017

[pakdefender]

what happened with Pakistan and South Africa then ?

You have to win some overseas matches , win test series , win at least one tournament , then make tall claims

For now you have found dug out in your home ground which tailored to your style of cricket so you have won a few matches , you still have a long way to go

that is just pure stupidity.
1. first Bangladesh needs invitation to play overseas.
2. yes test series, i agree.
3. Wining at least one tournament is lame excuse because now no tournament is going on.

Developing Story. 5 hour ago

LAHORE: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has declined to play triangular series including West Indies and Zimbabwe after Pakistan sealed the series against Sri Lanka 3-1 to gain two most valuable points, Dawn News reported.

According to report, PCB withdrew from Triangular series, keeping it a bilateral against host Zimbabwe in order to secure its place in ICC Champions Trophy 2017.

Pakistan, who proposed the series earlier seeking a fight for the Trophy with West Indies who now stands 9 in ICC rankings following Pakistan’s victory, has reportedly denied to stay in the tri-series following its series win over Sri lanka.

West Indian Cricket Board’s verdict is yet to come over the issue.

Is this true?
If yes then its not fair for WI. They should have chance to compete with Pakistan for entry in Champion trophy. what is the cut off date of deciding 8 teams for champion trophy?

September is closing month, not sure yet as PCB announce nothing to participate or not, Pak team finish SL tour on August 1st the last T20 and they have a series with England in UAE started from Early Sept, it's kinda tough if they visited Zimbabwe right after SL and reach UAE first of September to play with UK.

I know its sep but which date of September ?

I think even if they delay it they will qualify but its against spirit of sport

 

[nwmalik]

some people might need Burnol

I don't think so.
I think BCCI would prefer Pakistan in the tournament as it will generate more viewers and money.

I don't think that Pakistan refused IF the things are signed and dates are fixed, this tri series supposed to be start from last week of August to first week of Sept but as I mention earlier it's kinda hard for Pak team to pack up SL as the last T20 is on first of August and UK team arrived in UAE on Sept first.

@Raja Pakistani it's official now! Postpone.

LAHORE: Pakistan cricket team's scheduled visit to Zimbabwe has been postponed, which was expected to take place in August-September this year.

Sources told Geo News the decision was taken by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and the Zimbabwe Cricket Board (ZCB) with mutual understanding as the ZCB was facing difficulties regarding sponsors and broadcasting rights.

They said Pakistani team would visit Zimbabwe in the next available time.

Victory in the ongoing ODI series in Sri Lanka has brightened Pakistan's chances of qualifying for the Champions Trophy tournament.

West Indies, the Caribbean team in contention with Pakistan for the last available Champions Trophy slot, is likely to be left out of the tournament if it fails to secure an ODI series till September.

Yes 4

strange!!
Should have played a full ODI series with more possibility of getting a series winner. 5 ODI!! Even 3 would have been better as it would have given us a series winner at least.

3 or 5 are normal in ODI, for 4 both need to win three at least to get series or 4/0............
