T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[pakhitheboss]

the BCCI only care about the money which is why they never stopped at trying to get this seasons IPL played and they now have what they wanted.

Is there an issue if a cricket governing body is thinking about the money it can earn from a tournament? I do not think so, IPL generates more revenue than any other cricket tournament in the world because the BCCI knows how to organize and market it.

BCCI, one of the richest sports organization in the world. As said it'll never think of other issues. Somehow it needs to make the money out of the IPL.

BCCI is not the richest sports organization in the world, National Football League (NFL) is. What issue are you referring too? UAE offered to host the IPL and BCCI accepted it. How can a tournament of cricket be an issue for anyone?

I’d: "VASKIY" told that, BCCI is one of the richest sports organizations in the world. he didn't tell it is the richest organization.

UAE is the perfect place for hosting IPL in this covid-19 pandemic situation.  India is a over populated country, India is at big risk due to coronavirus. In this case, it would be foolish to host IPL in India. since NZ cricket board is not interested in IPL hosting in New-Zealand. so, UAE is the better alternative for hosting IPL in this year. I’m just waiting to bet on IPL

Everyone want to see the IPL matches but the organizers also have to watch out for the current covid-19 conditions. The cannot just select UAE because the condition is united arab emirates are also not so good. Final decision will be from BCCI and i hope they will consider all the safety factors before allowing the tournament to resume.

Well like I have said many times during this pandemic, the BCCI only care about the money which is why they never stopped at trying to get this seasons IPL played and they now have what they wanted. Yes the UAE might be safe but who knows what can happen as this virus is really affecting a lot of sports around the world once they started playing. I just hope that all the players stay safe and we don't see any player get the virus like we have seen in other sports once they started back up again.

I am not sure whether UAE is safe enough. I am checking the stats (from www.worldometers.info), and today they had 351 new cases and 1 new death. Compared to the other countries, UAE is having one of the highest infection rates. They have 5,952 cases per million population, which is way higher than what they have in India (1,009 per million) or Sri Lanka (129 per million).

At least from the stats, it looks as if UAE is even more dangerous than India.

But right now UAE and BCCI both are looking for big profit and they really not caring about any other thing which is very bad from them UAE and their Cricket Authorties sure they can earn millions of USD and UAE Government also feel this can bring really big amount so they are just doing this all with close eyes even this can bring some very serious trouble for them in future for long run.

You are saying that the BCCI is moving with the IPL despite the risk in UAE and the rising number is far greater than India and if that is the situation and they wanted to conducted the tournament why you think they really moved to the UAE including the training session, you think the facility is far greater than India or there is something else than the statistics you said, as per data the situation in India is getting worse hitting hundred thousand patients every couple of days.

In India the situation is worse, maybe UAE might have got other plans. To my knowledge India is atleast trying to have control with some lockdowna at regular intervals. Through my friends in UAE came to know that there is no restriction and the medical support isn't good as India. Maybe for the players they'll provide PPT kit while playing which keeps them away from corona

I have no idea about individuals and expats living in UAE during this period, i have seen international events taking place in the UAE successfully in the past month and the security and testing were of high quality and if the government welcomes the BCCI to conduct the IPL then we will see the same kind of precaution and if they can conduct one international event successfully then they can conduct again.

If the BCCI want to conduct the IPL 2020 in a safe country, then they would have gone for Sri Lanka or negotiated with the New Zealand Cricket Board. There have been no locally transmitted cases in these countries for the last few months. But they have gone with the United Arab Emirates. Now I smell something fishy with this move. One of the reasons may be that there is no income tax or corporate tax in the UAE. The players are going to receive their full salary, without any tax deduction. The franchises are also going to be happy, as they don't have to pay any tax on their revenue. But the presence of match fixing syndicates in Sharjah and some of the other emirates worry me.

BCCI wants to held IPL on NZ. but NZ cricket board didn't response. Secondly, they could have organized IPL in Sri Lanka. but the BCCI may not have shown interest in Sri Lanka because of the recent remarks made by Sri Lanka against India in fixing the 2011 world cup. I think it would have been the best decision for Sri Lanka to host the IPL. On the other hand, i agree with you that, if BCCI organize IPL in UAE then they will benefit financially. because of they do not have to pay any kind of tax.

Anyway, the Indian government is going to lose somewhere between ₹1,000 to ₹2,000 crore, if the IPL is held outside India. That's why I am still doubtful whether the Indian government will give permission to the BCCI, to hold IPL 2020 outside India. Perhaps the BCCI can reach some sort of a deal with the government, especially since Sourav Ganguly is considered as very close to the ruling party.

Do you think the Indian government is in a position to allow the BCCI to conduct the tournament, there is a certain funds the government is collecting in the name of disaster funds and they started collecting in the name of corona and i have no clue what they are doing with the millions they collected as there is no auditing in those funds and the situation there is no way the pandemic is under control even with months of lock down and there is no clarity on what the government is going to do and with all these there is no way the government will be crying about the money.

Another Bangladesh player is suspended for 2 years, Qazi Onik was caught by the anti doping for using Methamphetamine. The youngsters are getting caught for doping and it is a situation the authorities have to study.

BCCI is one of most productive unit for Indian government and now we have good news Australia New Zealand and South African boards already announces they will give NOC to players for participating in IPL2020 surely Indian government will give some soft corner about this all and have their share for allowing this all.

Nope, they didn't, It was speculation.

BCCI and SLC both have good relations despite this recent fixing allegations. BCCI didn't even took these allegation seriously so its safe to assume that there must be a another reason, for ex ; logistic, stadiums or anything else.

Tax thingy seems valid reason.

----------
Edit : I think this could be a real reason, SriLanka organizing their own tournament.

Inaugural edition of Lanka Premier League to begin on August 28

Is there a doping body that check every cricket players like USADA or WADA, looks like there are random test and i remember Shane Warne getting caught and missing the World cup and Stephen Fleming getting caught for marijuana which was absurd as it is not even a doping substance, i would like to know how these testing are conducted as we see these doping results once in a while and some players are caught randomly.

A corrupt board like BCCI is obviously profitable for the corrupt BJP government at present. Even if various world governments go ahead and hand out NOC to players, do you really expect all players to get on board?

It's not that simple. Most players will definitely value their lives over money which is why this tournament will probably be missing many great talents making it less entertaining.

Is this true?

If this news is confirmed, then it is very serious. For those who don't know, Methamphetamine is not a performance enhancing drug. It is a recreational drug, similar to heroin, cocaine and LSD. In many of the countries, the possession of Methamphetamine is a severe criminal offense. For example in Singapore if you are caught with more than 250 grams of Meth, then you may get the death penalty. I am not sure about the case with Bangladesh, but in many of the Asian countries the possession of Meth is punishable by death. It looks like this guy got a 2 years suspension instead of a prison term, or even capital punishment. He is very lucky.

BTW, I heard that Bangladesh is suffering from a spike in Meth addiction. Myanmar remains the no.1 Meth producer in the world, and the tablets are smuggled in to Bangladesh by criminal gangs mostly operated by the Rohingyas.

This is definitely true. Check these articles out.

This isn't surprising at all. I have seen Cricketers with far higher potential getting banned due to these issues over the years around the world(Prithvi Shaw etc). Some recover while others succumb to these drugs. That is the reality.

Finally, IPL to start in September and end in November means they aren't cutting out on games. Without audience it won't be fun to watch but still something better than nothing. I wish they play in India only as the situation in other countries would make it more risky for them and the other players.

In a country where daily new highs are being made then previous day and situation does not look good as it is spreading way too fast now so it would not be possible to conduct in such situation as also the security in IPL needs to be provided which state may not be able to handle at this time. So, decision to move outside is correct as per this situation.
