No good relations means no good cricket with Pakistan - BCCI secretary

Anurag Thakur, the BCCI secretary, has said that any bilateral series between India and Pakistan was unlikely until the political relationship between the two countries was stable.



Thakur was speaking on Monday soon after a gunfight in the Gurdaspur district in Punjab - close to India's border with Pakistan - led to several civilian casualties. Though security agencies in India were yet to determine who was responsible for the attack, Thakur, who is also a Member of Parliament from India's ruling BJP, cited the incident as an example of why he believed the time was not right for a cricket series with Pakistan.

"Even today there is a terrorist attack, in Gurdaspur. On one hand there is a rise in terrorist activity from Pakistan, on the other you can't expect to play a cricket series with Pakistan," Thakur told ESPNcricinfo. "For me the safety and security of my countrymen is more important than a cricket series. This is not the way to go ahead. I was never against the dialogue process. At the same time, if you do not have good relations, you can't have good cricket."

Last month the PCB chairman Shaharyar Khan, while visiting India, had said Pakistan had a "Plan B" should the series not go ahead. "We know there is always such a possibility when it comes to Indo-Pak relations but we think the situation will be clear in two months time," Shaharyar had said. "We have a plan B in case the series (against India) cannot be held but I can't share the details of that now. If such a situation is created we can call alternative teams."

India have not played a bilateral Test series against Pakistan since 2007, though they did host them for two T20Is and three ODIs between December 2012 and January 2013.

Was this the surgical strike we have been hearing about for decades?

On a serious note, Indian authorities must act with some sense of responsibility. With the first shots fired they conclude that it was Pakistan sponsored terrorism and birds flying in are ISI agents, anything that is damaging for India is Pakistani. You need to lean your house, there are dozens of separation movements going on in India, in areas with absolutely no access from Pakistan. Need to figure out where the problem is rather then being cry baby and blaming Pakistan for anything and everything!

The PCB should grow a pair and stop begging the BCCI for the tour....especially when things are looking up for Pakistani cricket.
The BCCI is just laughing at the PCB for its naive stance.
They won't do anything which helps Pakistanis even a bit.
