C'mon guys its high time we stood up for our players. While the other boards have backed their players even if they have done wrong we on the other hand have criticised our players. Azar does not deserve what he is getting. Why do we all forget what he has given to Indian Cricket???? Treat him like all the other former cricketers.... We all have done something wrong in our life and we all deserve atleast one chance to be forgiven. He was not given a chance to play one more test so that he could join the elite group of cricketers who have played 100 test. Dont u think that must have not hurt him deep in his heart???? He is still serving the Hyderabad city by training new players. Shane warne, Mark Waugh, Gibbs, Wasim Akram and so many other players got away with all this and Azhar is the only one who gets punished.... India is huge when it comes to cricket and i think our board is strong enough to stand up for their players, so wake up BCCI and stop taking shit from other people. Fight for your former players and make your players feel that they have someone backing them in their good and bad times. I'm sure Azhar one day will walk with his head held high. Long Live INDIA
Finally, BCCI has given ICC what it deserves. But at the same time it was BCCI's mistake in the first place. Hope atleast now BCCI will standup for Azhar. Atleast give him a fair trial. The allegations have still not be proven. If he is innocent, even BCCI cannot give back Azhar what he has lost, atleast give the man a chance to get back his self respect.....
Well done Mr. Shetty. You have nailed this. I think Azhar has been more than punished and he deserves to be treated as any other successful Indian cricketer. He has done a lot for the Indian team and he needs to lead a normal life.
