By AB's logic, India should invite Pakistan and regularly tour Pakistan for cricket in all three formats. Why restrict it to Asia Cup only if sports and politics should not mix?

 

In fact, why isolate Russia if sports and politics should not mix? Dont their athletes feel awkward? (Uncle Sam ke dande se sab darte hain)

No one cares for half asssed boycotts. People like AB would respect india way more if we had a complete boycott of Pakistan.

 

Scheduling to play 3 matches with them, willing to take our home series out of the country to play Pak and then this drama of fake patriotism. It only fools some low IQ bhakts, most Indians have the same opinion as AB, either boycott or if you decide to play stop drama for fake social media. 

 

Same way they respect complete boycott of Russia, if ukraine was playing russia every match and then doing drama, no one would respect ukraine too.

modi-shah-gambhir between them got it badly wrong. if world opinion doesnt matter why haave we sent hiuge delegations arounsd the world trying to change it? for decades our cricketers have pretended to get on, some more than others. that's the only sustainable stance. the govt should not be using our crickeyters like this. all it does is lend credence to two societies, two countries that hate each other. and while some here might want that, the aim must be to show an india that hates terrorism and institutions that harbour them. nobody is going to believe you if want to say anything and everyone in pakistan is a terrorist. and that's what india asia cup stance tried to do. should not have played them. the asia cup was a gilt edged chance to withdraw from a comp

The tid bits so far we have heard from Tharoor and delegation points that India badly lost the narrative war and has a lot of work to do in terms lobbying in the West.

 

India should have completely boycotted the Asia Cup games with Pakistan or should have forced the other boards to exclude Pakistan and play Asia Cup in India the original hosts.

No one would have gone against us.
