Something that is happening now cannot be compared with something that happened 100 years ago because they are different events. The truth is that this is an absolutely bogus rule that, as far as I'm aware, only exists in cricket. I really do not believe that the national team should be made up of foreign players. There is no way that is fair for everyone in that situation.
In addition, if we talk about equal distribution of revenue, I don't think that it is going to happen because it is obvious that India will oppose any idea that promotes an equal distribution of revenue. This is because they are the ones who bring in the most revenue.
Migration only becoming easy in modern times and If they are naturalized then why it's an absurd idea? Middle eastern countries are on steroids due to their fuckery but in western sphere it's not a problem.
You making sound like only BCCI will object to this idea. Do other subcontinent cricketing boards have any sort of will despite being a freeloader or to some extent CSA, NZC?
BCCI is like the boss of cricket. Almost everything happens according to the plan that this set in motion. And when they oppose any idea, certainly other cricket boards are also going to join them.
But the thing is BCCI is not willing to say something unless that certain thing is creating a problem for them. Right now BCCI is yet to face any problems like that and that's why it's still being talked about. Doesn't matter if it's the issues of foreign players playing in the national team or equal distribution of revenue, the moment it starts causing BCCI problems, we will suddenly see cricket boards starting to oppose these ideas.
Agreed, the religious extremists won't let the players to Pakistan. In simple the government which is running based on religion will try to do some politics out of it. This drama will continue, because within two years the election is scheduled. Jay Shah who is the son of Amit Shah, so what the ruling government orders will be revealed through his mouth. Lets wait and see, once some incident took place and for the same we can't mark the country to be the same all the time.
Do you believe that the stance will change, in case someone from the opposition replaces Jay Shah? The blanket ban on touring Pakistan was imposed when the current opposition (UPA) was in power. The NDA just continued with the same policy. And IMO, an NDA government is more likely to approve cricket tours to Pakistan when compared to UPA, since the latter is already under pressure for their soft stance against extremism. But then, Jay Shah seems to be one of the hawks within the NDA appointed administrators. Someone like Anurag Thakur maybe more favorable to resuming cricket ties with Pakistan.
I don't think it makes any difference at all if the authority changes. There is no doubt that the authority's hatred for Pakistan will remain constant. This has been going on since 1947. Times have advanced, but the mindset of people has not. The differences between people are exploited greatly by politicians. I don't think it is going to change anything if the authority gets changed. Pakistan is still going to suffer. Unless there is any benefit for the BCCI they are always liable to oppose anything constructive happening in Pakistan cricket.
