CRICKET TOURS TO PAKISTAN
by shankaranand on Sep 20, 2003 08:04 PM

I feel it is high time the cricket playing countries and the ICC decide on the itenaries to Pakistan.
Although it is unfair to blame the cricketers for what is happenning outside the pitch, the safety of the players is of paramount importence. A small incident may cause irrepairable damage and ruin a player/s career forever. The apprehension of touring
teams is quite tenable as it will be impossible to play cricket with fear lurking for lack of security.
This will give an unfair advantage to the home team
which also has the pressure to win. Hence the cricket governing body has to sit down and give the pakistan govt an ultimatum to stop these bombings else the pakistan cricket team will be isolated forever. Mr.Ehsan Mani who is in-charge of the ICC as at present does not seem to realise that his country
is the next potential chernobyl of the world. With chaos prevailing in a country being ruled by an Army General backing hard-line Islamic clergy are calling for his blood. It is evident that Pakistan is heading for Anarchy and is the next Taliban of the world.
Hence I feel that pakistan should be isolated from the
cricketing world until they resolve their domestic
strife.

The Proteas should not tour Pakistan in such tense situations. It's better to stay at home.
