2. After cricketing ties resumed in 1978, the policy that MEA must approve of cricket with Pakistan seems to be have been put in place in 1989. The MEA has stepped in and cancelled previously scheduled cricket, in 1999 and 2008 most notably.

PS: As far as I can tell, any sporting event that uses "India" in its name is potentially under the purview of GOI. But I am not a good parser of govt. regulations.

My advocacy for Cricket in the neutral venue in exchange of MFN status is more in line of Neelam plan or IAs position of vacating siachen only after actual positions are demarcated. A politically correct way to prevent the machination of the ford foundation and lutyens traitors in its pay.

I am absolutely certain that the pigs will not change their behavior, for cricket or for anything else.

Furthermore, I am not sure if Bollywood were to rope in a TSP actor/actress to act in a film, visa is required for them enter India for sure, but does govt of India have to give explicit clearance for that? I don't think so. So why only in case of kirket?
CRamS, you may not think so, but that doesn't mean it is actually the case. Every time someone leaves the Indian shores or comes in, GOI can stop them for reasons of state. This also applies to sportspersons and sports teams and to any country, including UK or Sweden. Due to the "special " relationship with Pakistan, this process tends to be more visible, that's all.

Can you explain to me what a visa is, if it is not "explicit clearance" allowing someone to enter the country?

KLNMurthy

A VISA is an endorsement on a Document - in this case the Traveler's Passport - as proof that the Document has been examined and found correct.

To my knowledge it is for the Immigration Official at the Destination whether to allow the Visa Holder to enter the Country or no.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_(document)

A visa (from the Latin charta visa, meaning "paper which has been seen"),[1] is a conditional authorization granted by a country to a noncitizen to enter and temporarily remain within that country. Visas typically include limits on the duration of the noncitizen's stay, territory within the country they may enter, the dates they may enter, or the number of permitted visits. Visas are associated with the request for permission to enter a country and thus are, in some countries, distinct from actual formal permission for an alien to enter and remain in the country. In each instance, a visa is subject to permission by an immigration official at the time of actual entry and can be revoked at any time.

Pakistani Jihadists Are Not Green Enough For ISIS- Foreign Intelligence Agencies.

In the hierarchical world of ISIS fighters, Arabs are preferred for officer cadres while South Asians, including Indians, are not considered good enough fighters, says an assessment prepared by foreign intelligence agencies that was shared with their Indian counterparts.
While Arab fighters are provided better arms and ammunition, equipment, accommodation and salaries, jihadi recruits from India, Bangladesh and Pakistan are used as fodder by pushing them to mount suicide attacks.

“The fighters from South Asia are usually housed in groups in small barracks and are paid less than the Arab fighters and are provided inferior equipment,” the report says.

Only Tunisian, Palestinian, Saudi Arabian, Iraqi and Syrian are allowed to be in the ISIS Police force, which is barred for fighters of all other nationalities.
A total of 23 Indians have so far joined the ISIS of which six reportedly killed in different incidents while the number of recruits from Bangladesh and Pakistan is significantly higher.

So, after taking so many actions (prescribed by the Book) to make itself more green (eg. segregation between sexes, strict implementation of blasphemy law,discriminatory treatment of minorities), Pakis are not green enough for ISIS

The report also speaks of information that the ISIS considers Islam, as it is practised in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh .., as apostate and a departure from the original teachings of Quran and Hadith, which makes them less motivated towards Salafist Jihad.
But Pakis are making all efforts to eliminate Shias, Ahmedis, Barelvis and other lesser shades of green to curry favour with SA,Qatar, known patrons of ISIS
The fear of the ‘Jinn’—a supernatural creature in Islamic mythology—is also invoked to brainwash fresh recruits from South Asia and certain other countries.

Pakis have established a whole new dept in their govt bureaucracy to harness electric power from Djinns! - Sharia Compliant under the Book

You state a visa is subject to permission by an immigration official. As such if the Immigration Official does NOT PERMIT then the Visa holder will not enter the Country which issued him-her-it the Visa.

KLN Murthy:

This is how US visa works:

How Can I Use a Visa to Enter the United States?
Having a U.S. visa allows you to travel to a port of entry, airport or land border crossing, and request permission of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Customs and Border Protection (CBP) inspector to enter the United States. While having a visa does not guarantee entry to the United States, it does indicate a consular officer at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate abroad has determined you are eligible to seek entry for that specific purpose. DHS/CBP inspectors, guardians of the nation’s borders, are responsible for admission of travelers to the United States, for a specified status and period of time. DHS also has responsibility for immigration matters while you are present in the United States.

Not sure why there needs to be so much discussion.

Entry is a two-step process in which a visa is the primary chokepoint that eliminates a number of people determined by national policy. No visa. No entry

Have visa, then entry is subject to what the immigration officer judges at port of entry. That immigration officer can do nothing if there is no visa. His power comes only if a visa is present. In practice airlines serve as a second level chokepoint when they demand that travellers have visas or else the visa-less passenger will have to be flown back for free by the airline. That reduces the workload of the immigration officer. Their main work is to deal with those who have visas and for those people who are eligible for visa on arrival

A visa on arrival means a permit to enter the country under certain conditions. That is also a visa, given at the immigration desk at the discretion of the officer in cases where he is empowered to do that by national policy

If visa=0 then entry=0 <go back to consulate and reapply>
If visa=1 and immigration desk=0 then entry=0
If visa=1 and immigration desk=1 then entry=1
All entrants will have visas. Even a person who can enter another nation freely will need to have his passport stamped or "seen and checked" at the port of entry

As an aside The word "visa" is related to the word for vision and the Sanskrit word "vidya".

They have to bat first because they must get out before they get to bowl 72 maiden overs. The wicket is only a ticket, but you have to be a jihadi to get a visa on arrival. It's a cricket racket played by the Ballmighty

If he got 40 to life, he will be eligible for parole after doing 40 years. He may come out at 50-55 years if lucky. If he just got straight 40 years, with 15% good time credit, he will come out after 34 years, if he stays out of trouble. As anti-US he may have to PCup though. In Europe things are easier.

The position of the neck, spine at the moment of ejection is important as well as any impact during landing. a broken neck, back or heavy landing can have unintended consequences.

It's a sad thing.

TimesNow is reporting that the BCCI has asked GoI formally for permission to go ahead with the cricket series against Pakistan to be hosted in Sri Lanka.

As a person who has consistently felt that every avenue must be used to strangulate Pakistan including cutting off all political, military, cultural, sports and other contacts unless Pakistan verifiably stops its terrorism against us, I hope that the GoI takes the correct decision.

The USA, Pakistan and various other Countries (Total 65 Countries) Boycotted the 1980 Moscow Olympics. That was a Political Act in Sports.

1980 Summer Olympics boycott

Sixty-five countries that were invited to participate in the 1980 Olympics did not do so for various reasons including support for the boycott and economic reasons.

As such there can be no Action that the Rest of the World - of course Excluding the Land of the Pure and Home of the Terrorists - IMHO can take against India refusing to Play Cricket or any other Sport with the Land of the Pure and Home of the Terrorists.

Whether the cricket series happens or not will boil down to deal making between BJP and the NCP, I think. There are two possibilities. One, all the back channel talks between the two Boards must have happened with tacit blessings from the Government. This could be packaged as a tri series with Srilankan team where the finals would be a best of three matches but the revenues go to the PCB. Alternatively the Pawar lobby is forcing the Modi govt to take a stance. The govt would be damned if they say yes and damnedif they say 'no'. If the govt decides to bite the bullet then some political concessions would be extracted from the NCP.
Added later
I had said earlier that that the finals could be a best of three matches. I forgot to add that it is possible to make the finals as a fixture between India and Pakistan. These things can be managed. How about a Colts Sri Lankan team or a regular Sri Lankan team with key players like Angelo Mathews nursing an injury?

So things like home advantage, home crowd and preparation of pitches for home matches are hit for a six so that PCB and terrorists can make more money. This is actually one more reason for me to hate cricket.

There is a conflict as usual between the pakis -- civilians and the army. They are not often on the same page. Normalization is good for the civilians but not so for the army. Let's just wait and see how this plays out.

This is the news? Fake.

IPL Chairman and BCCI functionary Rajeev Shukla has claimed that the Indian Board is open to considering any request from its Pakistan counterpart seeking permission for its players’ participation in the Pakistan Super League.

“So far we have not got any such query from the PCB but if they do contact us on this topic we will look into it,” Shukla said.

The BCCI, as a policy, doesn’t allow its players to take part in any foreign Twenty20 league but Shukla said if the PCB sent them a request it would be looked into.

The two boards apparently have reached a consensus on playing a short limited-overs series in Sri Lanka next month
but details are yet to be confirmed.

I completely agree 100%+ with you. My first post on the kirket resumption was exactly to make this point until it turned disgustingly ugly, personal, and way off topic based on some personal grouses. But I find it suprising that leaving aside provocateurs, even someone like A_GuptaJi feels that kirket is not a leverage. I think it is for a host of reasons.

Yes absolutely. On this kirket resumption crap, and all the twists and truns, the bottom line is India Vs India, nobody else can do a damn thing should India decide to boycott this abomination. USA routinely sanctions, demonizes, isolates, you name it countries it deems as "threats" for a fraction of the kind of crimes TSP has inflicted on India. No harm in India doing the same, and it must emulate US (and its sidekicks like UK) in this regard. BTW, didn't countries like UK and Australia boycott Zimbabwe?
