Should India play bilateral cricket tournament with Pakistan?
I can
answer this question in a diplomatic way which may sound yes and no at same
time. But to be honest I prefer to say no i.e. India should not play any
bilateral cricket tournament with Pakistan until there is any political settled
down about Kashmir.
Anyone can
raise a point as, if India can play other sports then why they should not play cricket.
I think cricket become a sentiment in India. National flag and national anthem
is a sentiment of any country. In a cricket match the way people raise Indian
flag, swing it, stands when national anthem gets played before start of the
match, you can observe this thing when we go for war or win a war. It is not
that in other sports, people not raise flag, but in India Cricket is so much popular,
that many people gets involved in this activity. As a result sentiments is much
much bigger than other sports. A country means only a sentiment to its citizens.
If they not maintain this then why should we call it is MY COUNTRY, it becomes
just another place or land.
The headline
of a bilateral tournament is like India VS Pakistan – as its sounds like war.
But when they play in an ICC tournament, headlines become Champions Trophy, WC
etc. So, people not gets so much emotional. Pelting stones and playing cricket cannot
be play at once.
