It is most unfortunate that Azhar was banned for alleged match fixing. he had creaed records of sorts by scoring centuries in a row, captained India efficiently and was fit to atleast be given one chance to complete 100tests; he is hanging on test No.99. for the creditable display of all aspects of the game and he has rescued India on many occasions, atleast now, as a gesture, he must be allowed to play atleast one test. that would be a fitting way of forgiving and forgetting the entire episode. when politicians are selling our country in each deal, why punish Azhar who has not harmed the country or its soverignity?? BCCI is an autonomous body though part of ICC and can take its own decision to allow him one game atleast as a player. We must support Azhar till he wears the Indian uniform again.
Well said Swaminathan!

Well said Swaminathan! We feel if BCCI is lifting the imposed ban,then Azhar should be given a chance to play not only the 100th test but also the ODI's as well since he is far better in many aspects than some of our current players!
Inducting Azhar into the Indian team is the only way by which BCCI can recompensate all the damage it had done him! Will this miracle take place? God alone knows! Gillbart Kumar Maryland USA

Even I Support "THE GREAT AZHAR" Who Should be given atleast a chance to complete his 100 test mark which in all will tell the story. If this harsh part of his life where he losted his six precious years if removed, today he would been considered the best cricketer of all times.
It is surprising that Mr Lele is now waking up to clarify his stand. What was he doing when he was equally responsible in taking such a harsh decision against one of the finest players of the game? Now, that he finds it convenient without any personal stakes involved, he is crying himself hoarse. Fans of Azhar like me, always believed that he was not guilty and I am sure even if he is give a chance to play, perhaps he will play better than most of our current players. There is always a chance to rectify ones mistake. But will the BCCI have the guts to give Azhar a chance? We are eagerly waiting for Azhar to take the stance.

We allof us disscused about this topic but is that only the Azar only not there, Y we have to Just Higlighted Azer What about Remaining Persons. It is not confirmed about Azar Scam unnecessarly we have no right to suspect any Person. Once upon a Time he is a One of the Big Talented Player. if they are in Realy in Scam they Found there mistake.let us Show Some Mercy on them Ajay Jadeja is Good Player Once upon a time he is Former Indian Captain & Opening Player also. Ithink BCCI must Welcome once again to him.From Long Period onwards Some Politics is running in BCCI, Imean they r Not Giving any Encourage n Chance to HYDERABAD Players like AZAR, LAXMAN & Venu gopal. They r giving one Chance if they Failure in that they were Loosing Chance easly.
