Re: Breaking News: No World Cup for Pakistan
If PCB announce a 20/20 for 20 million, You will see full strength NZ and Auz team ready to play even in Sawat, FATA and God knows where!
Your argument is pretty common place and apparently compelling among Pakistanis, but I do not buy it and not because I am an Indian. As an NZ player recently said - "you cannot make money if you are dead"...
Now let me say something politically incorrect but which is an obvious truth - India is NOT an ISLAMIC country with a Muslim majority. On that basis alone, foreigners would feel safer in India than in Pakistan. Whether this is right or wrong is a different subject.
Secondly, the extremist elements in India have no beef against foreigners unlike in Pakistan. The only time foreigners were attacked in India - we all know who was responsible.
Let me go out on a limb and say that if Pakistan was not India's neighbor , IPL would never have moved to SA. Foreigners now have a reason to feel unsafe in India but only because of Pakistan based elements (state or non-state actors !!). They have nothing to fear from Shiv Sena/RSS for sure.
