You cannot run away from who you are. Cricket is like a birth defect that subcontinent countries are born with. All the countries in the region that you think of as peers / rivals play this sport, how can you afford to not do the same?
Those of you who think that you can erase the passion for this sport (by simply wishing it away) are not being realistic. The right attitude should be deal with BCCI and GOI in respectable and reciprocal terms to arrange for a financial beneficial relationship. I'm well aware that GOI will not make it easy for Pakistan, but that is why it is a challenge. You need diplomats and ambassadors who can achieve this without giving away too much.
