Cricket is not for the weak of heart, just ask any avid cricket follower. We go from cheering our team to abusing their downfalls in a matter of 6 balls. Children become instantly religious at the prospect of a super over and when it comes to a Pakistan-India match, one can only see red. There is no rivalry as electrifying and emotional as that between these two cricketing nations and the history, passion and respect remains unmatched.

"Peace and Friendship is in the interest of both countries. We are not concerned about Bal Thackery or any types of threats - his influence is only in Mumbai and we are not playing there. Our message for Thackeray is of peace. The team will travel to India as per agreed schedule and we are assured of the security to be provided by Indian government which is based upon their pledge.

In the last 10 ODIs in which he has batted, Afridi has scored 85 runs at an average of just 9.44 to go with seven wickets at 45.77. It’s hard to argue based on these numbers that the chief selector Iqbal Qasim made the wrong call.
