Pakistan is facing the worst security and terrorism issues since last couple of years. Tragedy for Pakistan is that the foreign media is stressing more on terrorism in Pakistan then reality. So every one out side Pakistan considers every Pakistani as a terror……………….
Champion trophy was going to held in Pakistan about couple of months ago. This was really a big event for a country like Pakistan. Every cricket lover in Pakistan was planning to enjoy this big event. All the security and other related planning were on their way to completion. Almost all the cricket boards were sending their security team to Pakistan to visit the event sites. Media coverage was provided to the security teams for political purposes. International cricket council also sent its security team to Pakistan as well. At that time security was issue in Northern areas of Pakistan and in capital to some extent but it was not a big issue to resolve.
All of sudden a gossip floated in the media that the Australian players are not willing to play in Pakistan because of security issues. With the passage of time other players of different countries started behaving in the same way as Australian done. It is important to discuss that not a single complaint is made by any Asian player.
Firstly ICC decided to delay the Champion Trophy for one month. It was a wise and reasonable decision at that time. Every lover of cricket had a sound relief on this announcement. But later on the event was postpone to next year.
Question is India is also facing the terrorism problem but with little intensity than Pakistan. Several bomb blasts and suicide incidents happened in India during the last two or three months. So the security concern is there too. Question is why Australians make them ready to play in India than Pakistan. The security risk is also there.
