Nobody wins here. PAK is one of the BCB allies, but now BCB will lose them for near future.
PCB will lose out for now, but I have a feeling they will somehow get ZIM/WI to tour them this year. Thats it, PCB dont need BCB after that. We had a chance we should have used it to our advantage somehow, say we could have said lets do this tour after ZIM tour rather than canceling it openly. BCB is no BCCI, they cant dictate PCB. PCB is way too clever and powerful for BCB.
As soon as Papon took over the chair he should have discussed the whole issue in private with PCB and sort things out, rather than telling things in public. When Kamal left we got a reset,
Papon should have used that advantage, rather he made things worse by cancelling the tour outright, then saying it was a postponement, and work it out when things were already lost and then starting to blame Kamal for the whole fiasco.
So far I dont see Paon as a very smart politician, neither a top class business acuman.
