Sir: For many years, Pakistan and India have not played any bilateral cricket series but the sports are politics-free or sports are supposed to be politics-free, India and Pakistan are using cricket as the political tool to defame
Sometimes, I feel very unjust to moto of sport whenever i came across the useless decision of the two countries over this sport. Argentina and England are having the issue over Falkland but they want to show that soft power to be the better and that is in football.
But their respective governments have not indulged in politicising the sport like India and Pakistan do over cricket even other sport constitution won’t allow it to happen in the context of sports. Then what ICC is doing, or why is it silent over it? Cricket is all about fun, enjoy and entertainment and these two countries have the most fans than any of other.
The ICC should try to solve this problem and the governments of these countries should not mix up their political problems in the sport.
