'Kill cricket, create terrorists,' warns Younis

Younis Khan has appealed to cricket’s administrators to save the game in Pakistan, or risk pushing future generations into the clutches of terrorists. The Pakistan captain fears that an extended boycott by touring teams could lead to a dramatic decline in interest and participation in cricket among the nation’s youth. That, in turn, could invite corrupting influences to fill the void that might otherwise have been occupied by sport, Younis argued.

When I was a boy, I loved watching Imran Khan, Javed Miandad and Wasim Akram playing against great teams from overseas. It is because of them - seeing them play - that I also played the game. But what if no one comes to Pakistan? How will the youngsters know about the game? What will they do?

This is a load of emotional BS devoid of logic.

It is not as if Pakistan will stop playing cricket. They will still play international cricket but at neutral venues. Pakistanis can continue to watch their “heroes” on TV just like they are doing today (they have not exactly been thronging the stadium for Test Matches or ODIs anyways).

Pakistan should stop blackmailing the rest of the world with :
— Give us billions in aid or there will be more terrorists in our country who can kill you.
— Please play cricket with us or there will be more terrorists in our country who can kill you.
— Don’t sideline us or there will be more terrorists in our country who can kill you.

Musharaff survived in power for so many years with a similar blackmail :
— If you topple me, there will be more terrorists in our country who can kill you.

Pakistani Govt needs to get off it’s fat arse and go after the terrorists ruthlessly rather than blackmail the outside world to bail them out everytime.
