I’ve written earlier about the BCCIs objections to a Twenty20 world cup, saying that they’re totally against Twenty20. Pakistan are also along for the ride, at least according to the BCCI. Although having a domestic Twenty20 cup, and playing an international in England this summer seem to contradict that.
John Cook at CricketBlog.com has an interesting comment on this.
Pakistan and India will also be bidding to host the 2011 World Cup, going up against Australian and NZ. I wonder if the combative approach they’ve taken with the ICC, not only with the Twenty20 World Cup but also with India boycotting the Champion’s Trophy, will harm their chances of winning the bid.
It’s a good point. Will the BCCI and the PCB want to piss off the people who could put a lot of money their way with the 2011 World Cup? I doubt it.
