For harbouring terrorism why not diplomatic steps are taken to ban Pakistan from participating in any international sporting events like South Africa was banned from the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo until 1992 due to the apartheid policies.
We should not be too emotional and take hasty decision. Our decision should be hard nosed practical and serve our long term interest. We should let the strategists, foreign policy experts, our armed forces, and the International Finance experts decide the course of action: both short-term revenge and long-term strategy to cripple our enemy. By our emotional pourings, we might be putting unnecessary pressure on those who have to take the critical decisions. We must have faith in them, and just stand in support. Jai Hind.

gavaskar should know that country is too big to be affected by a loss or win at world cup cricket. Such tournaments are held periodically and there is no point in playing with a useless country who enjoy killing our people every day. the Mosco Olympic was also boycotted by USA and LA Olympic by USSR for obviously putting their national interests above sports. Gavaskar thinks his views are forthright but this they are misplaced and he should immediately withdraw the same.
We the Indian Citizens do not at all want any friendly relation the neighbouring country of 'Na-Pak-istan". They were the adversaries, are so and will always be so. Navjyot Singh Siddhu went there on the Prime Minister's Oath Ceremony, hand-shaked with him and hugged the enemy Military Administrator Bajwa and what they did ? They how cruelly back fired by killing our 40 great Soldiers. So, to talk about the friendly talk and play with such ...tard country is the thing of the past now.
Those who playing with ours soldiers life and playing game of making ours young married girls widow ,how can india play with them any sports including cricket,shame on gavasker and tharrur like pak oriented selfish
India will lose only 2 points. Some commentators will not get paid if the match is not played. TV channels may lose big revenue from this cancellation. Some people who bet money on India may not get a chance to win fortune. You seem to be more concerned about these issues than anything else.
India should not play Pak at all. That's going to be a bigger humiliation to Pak than thrashing in the game. How can you have sporting relationship with a country which sponsors terror activities in our country ?
No patriot will concur with your view Mr Gavaskar. Please do not give these kind of insensitive opinions.
