It is a disgrace that GOI (and/or BCCI) has imposed sporting boycott on Pakistan. Very convenient of them to have billions of dollars of trade, religious/medical visas, contact in global sports events (Olympics, CWG, Asian Games, various WCs, CT etc), movies/culture crossover, hugs by the PMs in wedding parties, exchange of sweets by diplomats etc but no bilateral sports or participation in leagues be it cricket, hockey or football. Fans from both countries want sporting contacts (even neutral venues will be perfect considering our huge diaspora) but the hawks, extremists and hypocrites in Delhi only want to use Pakistan for vote catching purposes.
New Delhi's concerns about Hafiz Saeed, Masood Azhar, Dawood, Rawalpindi, cross border terror, Khalistan, drugs etc are valid but why should cricket be a soft target? If they are so sincere cut off bilateral trade on moral grounds and fight issues on political/diplomatic level. It seems like they want to groom a new generation of Indians who are consumed by hatred for Pakistan right from a young age, this too is radicalization. Don't believe me, look at our election rallies, political speeches, Pakistan related jibes, news channels, social media etc, there is systematic brainwashing going on and at least Indians on PP should understand that there is direct propaganda ongoing to benefit a certain ideology. Literally in the current political climate, Pakistan means bad/evil/enemy for majority Indians without any attempt on their part to understand the realities or ask valid counter questions (sheep mentality). I can't speak about Pakistan, let their people worry about their problems and perception of India.
Pakistan may have many anti-India elements, their army/ISI may have problems with us (these things are mutual) but they are not responsible for the current suspension of cricket ties.
). I miss the india pakistan test matches so much , ofcourse india is like powerhouse of all cricket at the moment but i still feel that pakistan can give them hard time.
