The alarm bells have never stopped ringing in Pakistan’s political and cricketing establishment since Australia postponed its tour of Pakistan citing security reasons,
So much so, it has driven the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to announce one tour or the other on a daily basis. Everyday there is an announcement that one country or the other will tour Pakistan only to be followed by a rebuttal by the said country.
Initial impressions were that PCB was trying to recoup its loss suffered by the postponement of Australia’s tour to Pakistan. However, the truth is PCB at the behest of its political masters is hell bent on a tour in order to show the world that Pakistan is a stable country.
Sadly, the PCB by its ham handedness has only managed to show its country, its people and its cricketers in poor light.
One is even driven to ask the PCB to stop using its cricketers and the glorious game of cricket to make political statements.
What do you say?

We need some light on this one... don't really know if it is about a political statement... this is a valid argument. But I daresay is that they are being a bit cocky in the process and as a result of this, no-one wants to play ball with them.
Cocky and hamhanded.
