If the government didn ' t ask them it is really bad on BCCI ' s part to show patriotism and not play cricket against Pakistan in Dubai . I guess having a BJP politician as BCCI president might be the reason . I hope ICC takes some action against BCCI for this . You can ' t allow teams to make decisions arbitrarily . Having said that I don ' t think one board can force another board to play a series against them unless it was agreed in advance with all the preparations made . And even if that was the case and PCB would win in court , how much money are they expecting from a Women ' s series . It will be very less . Regarding playing Pakistan in champions trophy , I think there is a well set precedent for that . You don ' t play a team you forfeit the game . Anything more or less will be wrong .
