Next Cricketing Nation to tour Pakistan could be….

either Balochistan or Waziristan. Simply because, by the time cricketing world (or for that matter any sport) gathers enough confidence to tour there again, Pakistan would have disintegrated into three or more countries who will play cricket within themselves. In those matches there won’t be any umpires. If a referee turns down an appeal, he would be simply shot. We can go on now rewriting the future of sport for coming months/years in Pakistan.

Seeds of disintegration had already been sown, the day Pakistan’s so-called democratically elected government approved Islamic Law for the Malakand division that includes troubled Swat region. Effectively this will mean a separate constitution, a separate judiciary and law system for the region.

When all countries including the Big Brother-India declined to help Pakistan overcome their trouble ridden cricketing ties with the world, Sri-Lankans rose to help them and provide the people of Pakistan with some good cricket. It is really disappointing to know most generous of the cricketers were attacked and had to brush themselves with death.
Instead of now saying that “We are assessing the situation”, the Cricket Board and Pakistan Government should issue a public apology to the People of Sri-Lanka. What is there to assess now, when governments have deals with those who carried out the attacks. What will you ask the attackers - “Oh Lord, by the way this was not in the scope of the Sharia deal?”
