Re: The Pakistani players will express themselves in Urdu
Saying Bismillah-irrah-Man-Ir Rahim, simply means: "In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful" ---- why should it be replaced with "i apologize for my english" or whatever else u suggested.
Because religion is a private matter and not something you invoke when asked a simple question like - "How do you think the pitch will play today ?".
In your office when your Boss asks you about the status of your work ...do you start your answer with.. "Bismillah-irrah-Man-Ir Rahim......"
Dont cringe if Sehwag says to Rameez Raza next time "Jai Bajrang Bali..I hope to bat well today"
