2011 World Cup of Cricket : Not In Pakistan

By Sumaira Bajwa • Apr 17th, 2009 • Category: Politics • 3 Comments

“It is a regrettable decision (but) our number one priority is to create certainty and deliver a safe, secure and successful event,” ICC president David Morgan said in a statement while snatching the world cup 2011 hosting from Pakistan. That has come when the cricket has literally dried up domestically in Pakistan and the future now looks more bleak as far as the cricket is concerned.

The security of the players is paramount and after the Liberty Attacks on the Sri Lankan Cricket Team in Lahore by group of terrorists justifies this decision by ICC and also provides another reminder to the government of Pakistan to mend the matters otherwise everything will be snatched from us.

Protesting over the decision of ICC is meaningless because that is what the facts are and we should be realistic and facing the truth. Have we even apprehended the culprits of Liberty Attacks? Can we really guaranttee the safety and security of foreign players?

  1. It is quite obvious from the day when srilankan team was hit by free and open terrorism that it will surely influence the up coming world cup.Now nation should ask salman taseer and rehman mailk that how much money is transferred into their accounts for arranging such a daylight crime from cricket gamblers.if they dont give answer,ask javaid miandad he would surely known this reality that his relative in law has made contribution to facilitate this process of terrorism in our soil.In the morning surely we will see tears of crocodiles in the eyes of all monsters in our cricket management and interior ministry for this national tragedy.Cricket was our assets but again it was ruined by our dictator’s bad policy who had given control of PCB under kidney specialist.

  2. Hi Arif,
    You have not got the game being played by UK, and betting mafia located in Dubai.The UK chaps have been at breaking the Asian group(Lanka,India,Pakistan,bangladesh) created by India’s Modi.Remember how India played in pakistan and How India and Pakistan played in Srilnaka when other nations were boycotting us.But Dawood Ibrahim and his brother inlaw Miandad are very keen to shift the cricket to Sharjah which is controlled by them. But UK used this group to break the alliance.First India boycotted after mumbai attack and now the whole world will boycott due to SriLankan attack.The ruling elite of Pakistan is arguing
    1.There is so much terrorism going on in India that IPL is shifted to south africa without bothering about Indian elections and security concerns!!
    2.Civil war in Srilanka(about to end)
    3.Bangladesh is also afflicted with terrorism etc.
    These fellows just cannot look inside but want to compare with other south asian nations.
    Now UK and ICC are very happy and they want world cup to be taken to UK or Australia.
    Nazia has got it but i hope you are safe.These goons especailly Dawood can be very vindictive.

    the day our matric fail miandad was selected as our DG of PCB by our business minded president ,the bells of horror and terror has started ringing.Instead of keeping him under watch for his relation with one of mafia don of Pakistan, we have given him full opportunity to come and interfere in our declining standards of cricket from all aspects.Its is true that flow of excessive money alway leads us away from professionalism and moral values.This principle is fully applied to PCB management and our many cricketers too.
