Cricket match prediction discussions

[pakhitheboss]

Taliban regime in Afghanistan has made their first big decision regarding cricket. Afghanistan will play their home matches in the United Arab Emirates from 2023 onwards. Previously India used to host their home matches (first the Greater Noida Sports Complex Ground, and then Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow). Emirates Cricket Board and the Afghanistan Cricket Board signed the deal earlier this month. And this is a big blow to the BCCI, who invested heavily on Afghanistan while ignoring other neighboring nations such as Nepal and Bhutan.

Nepal and Bhutan doesn't have star players like Afghanistan has and that was the reason why BCCI agreed in holding home matches for Afghanistan as it will help them in getting those television views and crowd in the stadium in turn it will increase earnings for both boards. Good that Afghanistan cricket board shifted to UAE. This shows that Taliban is not being controlled by India and also BCCI is not the supreme power in international cricket. BCCI invested in Afghanistan because they were making money from those matches. Considering the revenue BCCI is generating every year such investment are considered peanuts.

Taliban fighters are true fans of cricket. During the war, the Taliban fighters of Afghanistan are organizing cricket besides an interval. Many have organized cricket matches with Kalashnikovs and guns. Mullah Badruddin, a Taliban commander, said "I love cricket," When Afghanistan plays another team, we listen to the radio commentary with great interest and watch the scores and live on social media.”
Cricket was first played in Afghanistan during the 19th century. Many believe that such love for cricket can be used to bridge the linguistic and cultural divide between Afghans.
Many people have also praised the agreement between the Taliban government and the United Arab Emirates. The transition of their cricket to UAE is a good direction for their cricket.

Indian government had good relations with the previous regime in Afghanistan and that was the reason why they ordered the BCCI to help the Afghanistan Cricket Board. But all the money and effort put in to Afghanistan vanished when the Taliban seized power. Just another foreign policy failure for the current Indian regime, which is trying hard to appease countries such as Afghanistan and Bangladesh on one hand, and antagonize Nepal and Sri Lanka with the other. BCCI being a proxy of the Indian government just carries out whatever orders that comes from the top.

India was in good terms with previous government of Afghanistan Ashraf Ghani but Taliban are not in control of India or anyone. This decision of Afghanistan and UAE will definitely affect BCCI and future relations of them as many Afgani players participate in IPL and they had very strong terms.

Even this is not related to politics but still I want to give you some updates as you will watch in near future Indian government will have good relationship with these now rulers as well because back door diplomacy is already going on and now with the re-entry of the USA in this region due to regime change in Pakistan things looking positive for India as well because we all know India is big player in this region and USA wants to have them involved in all policies which is good, so hopefully Afghanistan Cricket Board will allow again their players to play in India their home matches because these could be more beneficial for them instead of playing into the UAE.

But, sadly we have one complaint about BCCI they are not doing anything for their neighbours which is surely not good specially for the Nepal because they have to done few positive developments for them as well which will increase their quality and performance in near future.

Who would have thought that US will be ruling by a dumb president and he would make a move that would remove the US army so that the Taliban would get their control back, so you cannot call it as a foreign policy blunder as no one expected this move as they fought around 20 years to remove the extremist government from ruling the country.

It is not a blow to the BCCI, they are not generating huge revenue for the BCCI by hosting the Afghanistan matches and the stadiums are not packed unless they are playing India and Afghanistan used other venue as their home ground because of security reason.

I don't think that the BCCI will take any action against the Afghan players in the IPL. This time also a number of Afghan players were purchased by various IPL franchises during the auction and a fraction of their salaries will end up with the Afghanistan Cricket Board in the form of foreign player release fee. The BCCI can't ask the franchises to refrain from purchasing the Afghan players because it will be encroaching on their autonomy. Anyway, there is not much reason for the BCCI to get angry at the Afghanistan Cricket Board.

[BobK71]

BCCI will not take any action against Afghanistan. Because there is no such hostile relationship between Afghanistan and India so that the Indian Cricket Board can create any kind of obstacle for their players. They have always been playing in the IPL and will continue to do so. Franchisees are also given complete freedom. India has maintained good relations with the former Afghan government but has not developed any bad relations with the current Taliban government. As a result, there is currently no danger of any such problem arising on the issue.

It's not about money it's about politics. India no doubt have good relations with former Afghan government and they are trying there best to have same relations with current government and IPL is great way to show positive gestures towards current Afghan government. That's why we see Afghan players in IPL.

If BCCI takes any action against the franchise buying Afghani players it will be bad for business. Because a lot of Afghan players are really good T20 players. BCCI is obviously not going to do something that is not going to be good for business. And the people are only going to pay when they know that they will get entertained.

So, I think they are not going to take any actions against the Afghan players or even against the franchise who are buying them. It is eventually going to be great for Afghanistan because they are not in a very good situation right now in cricket.

These leagues are very good for players and promoting cricketing relationships,  Afghanistan as a tram struggled alot in establishing them specially after tailban overtook them. They should be given chance to play in different leagues as they have best players in the world.
BCCI right now will not take any decision regarding Afghanistan players in IPL.

India is obviously not going to create any problems by themselves. They are going to always try to stay on the neutral ground by themselves. So as far as I understand if they do something like opposing the Afghan players trying to play in the IPL it is going to cause some problems between the Indian government and the current Afghan government. Because I believe the Afghan players playing in the IPL are going to bring in money for Afghanistan as a country and also the cricket of Afghanistan is going to improve. But the Taliban are not going to like the idea of players not being able to play in the IPL. And India suddenly does not want that right now because they have a lot of their own problems to fix.

nothing much in cricket and in football to discuss after T20 World cup and FIFA. This is now the resting time and we are yet waiting for an exciting series so that we shed light on the sportsman with our expert opinion.

Hope there will be no problem from Indian government perspective. But if the Afghan government opposes it, that is up to them. Playing here will improve their cricket as well as earn foreign currency. If the Taliban government do not like after knowing these things, I think that is their internal matter. But I think Afghan players will definitely play. No negative atmosphere will be created on this matter. And if it happens, it will be a loss for Afghanistan cricket not for India.

I don't think the Afghan government is going to oppose this idea.

First of all, they have enough problems in the country, they will have to fix those problems first.
Another thing is I do not think that the Afghan government is going to put any restrictions on the players. 

Because I believe that they are not going to mind that their players are able to gather experience in such a tough time in the country. And the players will also be able to receive some money by playing the IPL because currently, the situation of cricket in Afghanistan is not good at all. And I absolutely agree that the Afghan players not playing in the IPL is going to be a loss for Afghanistan cricket.

But, what will happen is also surely unpredictable because things are changing very quickly in world so many decisions are making mess up like we have in this case as well but most chances things could be improved in near future with Taliban are looking for support which is not coming as they are doing things but as we all now situation is changing in neighbouring country Pakistan hopefully things could be beneficial for India in Afghanistan as well.

India is big country, and now they have ability to lead in Asia as well which is important for the balance of power China is taking few benefits but most chances things could be changed for India as well in Afghanistan, and they will be able to play their positive role in This region which will increase their strategic partnership in Afghanistan, and they will again play their sports in India as well with most chances we will have cricket and soccer in near future.

Obviously, India is one of the largest countries in the world and they do have a really strong manpower base. India has developed into a country that is capable of leading the world in a number of fields. So it is quite easy to understand how and why they are a team that is actually leading the cricket scene at the moment and why and how they are able to do that. In addition to that, the fact that there are so many people living in the country is also one of the reasons why they are able to generate such a high level of revenue. Considering the high level of revenue generation, I think we can say that India is going to dominate the Asian cricket scene for a significant amount of time to come in my opinion.

India stands against most of the developed countries in each and every sector. In sporting activities this is completely low against many countries. Even small countries in the world are good with sporting activities compared to India. This is due to the lack of infrastructure. The government need to give importance and improve the infrastructure for every sports than just focusing on cricket. In recent years change have taken place and maybe in the future India will stand dominant in other sports same as cricket.

If we talk about the big market of cricket today then India will be at the top not only in Asia but also in the whole world. India leads the world cricket. ICC is also able to earn maximum revenue from India. In terms of area and population and cricket performance, India now makes a significant contribution everywhere. One of the biggest successful events in cricket today is the IPL. Where world famous players try to play that belongs to only for India. Till to date the world's biggest franchise league in cricket is owned by India.

ICC is also able to earn maximum revenue from India.

You will notice that India is second only to China in terms of population in the world and everyone in India loves cricket from their heart.  A huge amount of money is spent on this cricket in India every year.  70% of the cost of cricket around the world comes from ICC India.  If India loses in any major event especially the World Cup then the people of India do a great loss to India.  Cricketers from all countries except Pakistan participate in the IPL which is organized in India every year.  This is like a festival for cricket lovers.
