Consider this, an Indian official gave a statement saying that India's tour of Pakistan scheduled for 2009 Jan might be scrapped because of the security situation. He went on to say that not a scratch can be tolerated on a player like Sachin Tendulkar. So what about the rest of the squad question people of our eminent press? A very irresponsible comment if you ask them. Well it is a irresponsible comment, but not as irresponsible as what our press has become.
Also to be noted is that this statement comes a day after Javed Miandad, PCB's newly appointed director-general expressed desire about ICL and IPL settling their differences and ICL players being allowed into national teams. I am not advocating that we send Indian team to Pakisthan - infact I would prefer if we don't send a team in January, given the situation. I am just saying that ICL issue shouldn't influence BCCI in taking cricketing decisions which will affect the game in the longer run. I am not a fan of ICL - one Indian league is enough and the one which has the cream of the world is what I will follow.
