Cricket and terrorism
One of the most popular games in the world, especially in this subcontinent, is now the target of terrorists in Pakistan. We do not know when it is going to end. However, it is very logical to think that the ensuing World Cup matches in the subcontinent are going to be affected. We want to see an early end to the crisis and want that the terrorists are wiped out. The sports arena must be kept safe and free from the fundamentalists and terrorist forces.
The BCB officials were still semi-positive to go ahead with the matches with the Pakistani team. Pakistan is the place of occurrence of cricket terrorism; Bangladesh is still struggling for recovery from the worst national crisis following the massacre of innocent soldiers on duty, how come some BCCB officials got access to the media to say that they still hoped to arrange Pakistan -Bangladesh cricket series?
We also love cricket, but love our country too. We need to defeat terrorism first.
We pray for an early recovery of the injured Sri Lankan players, and also pray for those who have lost their lives during the encounter with the terrorists.
