She should be allowed to play. They allow Mahesh Bhupathi to Play for India in Olympics. He also lives in USA on Indian Passport. Why double standard?

There is a Difference brother.
1. She is Born and Bred in UK (I think she holds a Brit passport as well )
2. She has represented Britan as a Junior and as a Brit .
3. Only reason she wants to play for Pakistan is because as a Brit she will never get a chance play international Squash (There are so many players in England who are better than her)
On the contarary Bhupathi is Born and bred in India and has always represented India. He lives in US because he has better coaching facilities and better exposure there.
Rule can't be changed just because she has a pretty face.Moreover look at her disgusting remark :-
it is **inhumane* for her to be made to live in Pakistan as it is at the moment. "*
I am sure If Bhupathi is told to do so - He would go back in India and live there.

You are free to think whatever you want - But the fact will remain that She doesn't even come in top 10 in England and has little or no chance to represent it in any International Event and that is the sole reason for opting to play for Pakistan.
I dont think Asian or Olypmpic Orgs would have raised this issue Had she represented Pakistan as a Junior. She is definately trying to take advantage of her dual citizenship.

It doesnt matter what you think... She has all the support from the ppl of Pakistan, and thats what matters... Oh, and Bhupati is in the US because he left his own country, and went for more money and a better life... She was born and raised in britain, and has shown an urge to play for Pakistan, which is not really her country... Bhupati is just like the average indian, leaving the country for greener pastures, but she is unlike him...
Yeah unlike you people we support our athletes even win or loose, poor Tendulkur on a bad patch and he gets humiliated by the media.
Why isn’t he playing for India in the Davis Cup. Bhupati is abandoning his country just like how Carla Khan wants to join the winning side, Bhupati is now an American.
Why doesn’t your Bhupati want to stay in secular India.
Try to win singles and then we will have Sour Grapes.
Remember your record in tennis is average but our record in Squash is grand.
As for latest I think she is not allowed to play. N not part of paki squad. ( BTW I think the reason given by asif_k is quite rite why she wants to play for pak. coz she could not have chance to play for Eng)

What makes you think that Squash is competitive sport in England.
When I went to England I didn't even heard about squash. Its like an invisible sport there.

How many courts you visited there ? You should try to check the Link post in the first post and find out how many players from England are in top 10.
