Exactly the same situation Khawaja found himself in last year
Sure it’s just a coincidence though
They’re just massive c*nts really aren’t they?!

No issues with Rehan Ahmed though also of Pakistani origin.Exactly the same situation Khawaja found himself in last year
Sure it’s just a coincidence though
So strange why Bashir held up.

I've knocked it on the head mate, I've been getting more and more miffed with their cricket coverage.
I don't think anybody's expectations are that high tbh. We know the pitches will be doctored and the overall conditions favour the Indians massively. I'm just hoping for some competitive tests in amongst some batterings.
It all depends on whether you have been to Pakistan recently. They are known to rake back 20-30 years and ask about particular visits, why you went, did you go to any terrorist training camps etc etc. You know, regular every day questions.

Modi has launched his re election campaign with the opening of the Ayodhya temple. It's a sort of rallying call for Hindu nationalists and Kohli was invited. He didn't turn up, neither did Rohit Sharma.
Pure speculation, but perhaps Kohli doesn't want to represent such a divisive India.
I'd like to think that was the case. Our really nice cab driver today, Muslim was upset about it. He was talking about a Mosque last year, where they were subjected to rocks thrown at them as they left Friday prayers. This is in Catholic Goa, but rocks thrown by Hindus. Orange flags everywhere here today. Could understand it in, for example Delhi or Ahmedabad, but in Goa it is bizarre.
Anyway, enough of politics,
Someone asked Paytm and got a response saying ticket office open 8-4 on Test days, same address, HCA Gymnkana Grounds about an hour from the stadium. Others, including me, getting automated response to pick up tickets at the office, only open 10-6 , twenty first Jan2024 to the twenty fourth Jan 2023!
All single day tickets are sold out for first three days, most season tickets as well. According to the website. I think 5,000 school children have freebies every day. Three thousand armed forces for Republic Day on Friday.
The HCA are trying to be transparent with the allocation, after 11,000 tickets were unaccounted for in one of the ODIs. That's on top of the 11,000 or so corporate etc. People ended up in hospital after waiting for 10 hours in the rain and then being lathi charged by the police.
Mohammad Azharuddin, is President of the HCA, despite having being banned for life by the BCCI. He's a local MP. So it goes on.
Vizag tickets straight to email, no problems.

My hopes aren’t high mind.
Not going to bowl though.

Don’t need to can watch as live with Discovery+, as you could with BT sport prior.
Sky need to sort that shit out. If BT and BBC can do it don’t see how they can’t.

I think it also depends how many generations of your family have been in the UK. Pretty sure you had to declare on your visa application if any of your parents or grandparents were born in Pakistan, but not before that.

Issue with Ben not being able to bowl rears it's head again. The lack of balance is frustrating.
