Withdraw the ban

As the Pakistan cricket team is planning to include their rebel players of ICL in the national team and India is also going in the same direction, now I feel it's high time for BCB to soften their stance and withdraw the ban on our own rebel ICL cricketers too. After all it's the question of our national pride and honour and I do strongly believe that the upcoming World Cup T20 cricket and even the 2011 cricket World Cup squad would be poorer minus the players like Aftab, Kapali and Nazimuddin. Especially, I feel Kapali and Aftab are very talented. I think BCB should forgive and include them in our national fold. If they are given a chance to play again for the country, that doesn't necessarily depict the helplessness of BCB. Rather, these rebel cricketers should consider themselves lucky if they are called back to the national team.
