Uneven playing field View(s):My dear Jay Shah and the ICC,I thought of writing to you even though you must be very busy preparing for the game between India and Pakistan in the T20 World Cup in Colombo tonight. Probably partly upset at India playing host to their ousted leader Sheikh Hasina, Bangladesh asked to play all their games in Paradise. While all the other teams travelled around Pakistan playing their various games, India didn’t set a foot out of one ground in Dubai. With all respect to you, Jay, you haven’t convinced us that there was no one better than you for your job in all the cricket playing countries. Still, it is good that India and Pakistan are playing tonight though it cannot hide the fact that the ICC is now the ‘Indian Cricket Council’ and cricket is not played on a level playing field anymore.
