Bilateral series: Pakistan should not tour India at any cost, says Nisar
139
The Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan expressed his disapproval regarding the possibility of the national cricket team’s tour to India for a much awaited bilateral series between the arch rivals, DawnNews reported on Monday.
The minister was of the opinion that after Shiv Sena’s recent hate-driven actions against Pakistan it was not appropriate for the cricket team to tour the neighbouring country.
Pakistan should not accept India’s offer for a bilateral series on their soil at any cost, said Nisar.
“I personally oppose it. The prime minister will take the final decision,” asserted the federal interior minister.
Pakistan has repeatedly tried to extend brotherly ties with India, but it always responded with hate-campaign, the minister maintained.
“India has humiliated our people from all walks of life, I will raise this matter before the cabinet,” said Nisar.

The bilateral cricket series, scheduled for next month, remains in doubt after both sides again failed to reach an agreement on where the matches should be played.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) wants to stage the matches in the United Arab Emirates, which has been the team's “home” base since 2009 because of ongoing security concerns that prevent international teams from visiting.
But the Indian cricket board said its government would not permit its team to play Pakistan in the UAE, so the series would have to be played in India.
The two countries signed a memorandum of understanding in 2014 that Pakistan would host their next series after India had staged their previous two meetings.
The PCB chairman Shaharyar Khan on Saturday said he was still waiting for an explanation as to why the Indian government was opposed to its team playing in UAE, but was adamant that Pakistan would not go to India.
“There is no question of playing in India. I'm still awaiting the reason of not playing in UAE,” Khan said.
“We went there in 2007 and 2012. This time not again. It is our series and we will play at our home venue which is the UAE.”
“What is the problem playing in UAE as they had also played their IPL (Indian Premier League) there as well so why not Pakistan series?” asked the PCB chief.

Agreed, as Pakistan has already visited India now India should and there is no reason that Pakistan should visit India after they have declined to play the visit. Anyway Pakistan Cricket Board should concentrate on improving playing conditions and should develop more teams and organize tournaments between these teams to raise funds through local sponsorship. Improve the image of the board by raising the bar.

India's approach shows that there is some ulterior motive. Had they canceled the series from being played anywhere, I could see it could be for political reasons as the BCCI chief and Indian politicians have said many times. However if it were for political reasons then why are the same people now inviting PK to play in India, where is the for political "reasons" vanished all of a sudden? This hints that it for monetary reasons, as in deny PK any money and reap in millions because everyone know a PK vs India is one of the biggest ticket in the world. Ticket sales and TV rights would pocket Indians millions.

Entire world saw how disgracefully our PCB officials ( who are as good as diplomats ) were evicted by shiv sina / bjp nexus. no Hindu in India condemned it, rather BCCI reps tried to wrap it by saying "BCCI did not do this". speaks volumes Modi alone is not responsible for this bigotry.

Since, they do not understand common sense may be suing them and having it in the international media would humiliate them. If nothing else at the very least we are raising awareness about their dubious attitude in the press.

What is the rationale of India not playing Pakistan in UAE? If India can't play then Pakistan should NOT play in India and also look into pulling out of the T20 WC. ICC is a spineless organization, so, it will be futile to expect anything from it. If this was the other way round, the BIG-3 would jump up and down along with the ICC to put all sorts of penalties on Pakistan. This is how biased the world of cricket has become since the BIG-3 took over. Pathetic.

Border Skirmishes, sending terrorists to India for attack and training terrorists .. pakistan did all those even when there was congress govt. So Indians decided to elect a strong leader and it is Modi. Modi represents a changed Indian mentality.. not against pakistan .. but it will scrutinize and do things for the country. If they decide fighting and cricketing will not go together.. why forcing them?
You guys say "Kashmir first" then only peace talks.. then Indians say .. No cricket, no arts and no peace talks ... why only cricket is an exception..

NO WAY do we want our cricketers placed in harm's way with Hinduist militants running rampant all over India. No place in Modi's India is safe for any Pakistani - especially cricketers and our actors. India's BCCI thinks it can arrogantly boss the PCB around and call all the shots in its favor - not happening BCCI! Pakistan and PCB is not that weak spined! Guts and glory is a hallmark of Pakistan's cricket team - so BCCI needs to MAN UP and play Pakistan in the UAE or in Pakistan.

Good that Pak rejected india's offer. This offer is loop-sided and accepting it would have cemented Pak to a subordinate level BCCI had the guts to even suggest this. First they said that India cannot play Pak then Sachin plays with Pak players in the US and then BCCI rejected playing Pak in Abu but offers to play a series in India. I think they are trying to wriggle out of the MOu which has a clause that provided the government allows. So if Pak says ok the govt of India could still not allow the match to go forward and BCCI would be free of contract. PCB beware

You are the man~ ch Nisar. Fully agree with you. Respect first. It's a sport and shouldn't played as dirty politics. They play dirty, we know how to respond in an honored way. Forget about the PM. He is too busy with his own things. The entire nation stand by you.

It is not contractual agreement but MOU.. so there is no legality involved.

If Pakistan do not want to play then I am sure it is fine with India. Both sides are trying to have a series.

Then why was PCB knocking the doors of BCCI every week to play a series? Did no one anticipate this option within PCB?

@Kashmiri
I agree. It would end up being a very tepid series if it was played in a third country.

I believe the statement is very pessimistic, by this peace will never come in the South Asia. Balance of Power is not the right option, team should go and play optimistically because we can hope in future we will play and leave peacefully easily!

There are so many countries to play cricket with; why should these two nations play cricket when proxy-wars are being fought.

Game must not be mixed with politics. I agree with Chaudhry Nesar Sahib not to involve in playing sports with India. But doors should remain open to build better relations with India....depends on the political situation in India.

Finally, someone talking sense. Pakistan really doesn't need to get desperate about cricket with India. It's not worth all the trouble.
