- PCB forced Bangladesh to go against BCCI & ICC
- PCB voted in favour of BCB in ICC meeting
- Even after all this BCB demand got rejected by ICC
- Now, Bangladesh is out of T20 WC, but Pakistan will play the tournament
That’s why you should never trust Pakistan. 😭
Pre-seeding and Pre-decided knockout venues for certain participants have been normal in ICC tournaments for over 30 years! This is done to maximize commercial value regarding media rights and gate revenues(dah!). Here are the examples.
👇👇
1) In the 1992 WC, AUS was guaranteed a pre-decided venue for the home semifinal if they had made it. NZ was allocated the pre-decided home semifinal unless it was against AUS. This leads to the theory (as mentioned in Imran Khan's autobiography) that NZ underperformed in the last league match against PAK to get home the semifinal.
2) In the 1996 WC, PAK was guaranteed home QF unless it was against IND (as the Final was allocated to PAK); that's how they played against IND in QF in Banglore.
3) In the 2011 WC, ALL three hosts, IND, SRI, and BAN, were guaranteed home knockout matches on pre-decided venues (https://t.co/nqCRnnJGcz)
4) In the 2014, 2016, 2021, and 2022 T20 World Cups, In the first round, pre-seeding was given to the team in the FIRST ROUND with the same rules as in the 2024 WC. That's how qualified teams from the First round moved to Super 10s and Super 12s based on their seeding, or a replacement team allocated the respective seeding position.
I am shocked that ICC, Cricket historians, or any prominent media personnel have not clarified pre-seeding and India's Semifinal allocation to Ganyana.
Hopefully, this post will REST all the debate!

I really think it will be a good idea for Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to play the Ranji Trophy starting on the 24th instead of the last ODI. At the moment, the multi-format players tend to go straight from white ball cricket into test cricket.
This is just one example of the monumental effort put in by every stakeholder to ensure our fellow citizens get vaccinated.
Kudos to each and every person who is making India’s vaccination drive a success.
Lower riparian Pakistan gets 80% of the waters of Indus river system even as terrorism continues in Kashmir. Only a weak country under immense international pressure would sign a joke like the Indus water treaty. Understandable for India in 1960. But what is the excuse in 2021?

Hindi & Sanskrit do not use full stops. It has viraam |
And हाँ is written with Chandra bindu, not bindu.
For someone who claims to be an expert & has written a book on Sanskrit, this is telling.
But she is the "scholar" and we are "extremists" for pointing out incorrect grammar.
J&K administration has launched a portal for the Kashmiri Hindus to reclaim their properties that were left behind.
J&K administration ordered the full implementation of the Immovable Property Act for the Kashmiri Hindus.

The comfort we enjoy is at the cost of people in uniform staying on borders away from their families for long periods of uncertainty and risk..!!! Their kids undoubtedly know what is the value and joy of seeing the parents again…!!!
