Looks like money is all what BCCI is thinking, and this shameful. $10 mil dollars is neither here nor there when it is a matter of security and a nation's pride. Counting money is all that BCCI is thinking, then so be it. The cricketing players and cricketing fraternity will sacrifice much more than these $10 mil.
BCCI must pays tax to government... BCCI/Hospitals/Courts/Government Offices etc ...all must pay taxes to government.... And there must be accountability for everything they do...
We are paying so much of taxes and we get what - potholes road or no road, electricity blackout must of the time and many more things deprive off...
If we are deprive of so much then its horrible to think about people living in villages....

Arundhatti roy and shivraj patil as Umpires, Sonia Gandhi as third umpire, Taliban as match referee!
REdiff has given wrong information, it is not loss, it is their calculated profit from the series, and they are not getting it, it does not mean that it is a loss. For an example: if you are doing a bussiness and has invested amount in it, if your amount is getting less, that is loss. But in this case the bussinessman thought that he will get profit if he gets that order and atlast the order was cancelled, he has not invested for the same so there is no loss, only that the capital amount which could be more by adding this profit could not happened.
The cost of entertaining a terrorist state is very much high and beyond caluculation. A country like pakistan has to be isolated by all the countries in the world, if they really mean fight against terrorism. UN if it is honest must brings sanctions. Only shameless people will talk about playing with a terrorist state. Yes, Govt of pakistan is encouraging by their passivity and denial to fight. If you do not discourage, u encourage

Please DO NOT shame rediff by putting such bullshit news. 200 have died for god sakes!
the players themselves can boycott pakistan. I am sure that if govt would not have intervened BCCI would have gone ahead with the tour. BCCi is full of money laundering poeple. They do not care for the country. They are still counting the losses in revenue. BCCI is a disgusting Board with only materialistic interests.
