Cricket has not remain Gentlemen game.


Indian cricket team have lost the fray with Bangladesh in both the one days and the only test remains with draw.  From the tour of Bangladesh and humiliated defeat to India some points become clear.  Firstly Indian cricket team can perform well only on the home grounds specially when local empires are on the panel.  Secondly India won world cup quarter finals played in the month of March 2015 with Bangladesh adopted the policy of cheating and Lastly, Indian team is not strong as it was assumed to beat Bangladesh.  


Before tour to Bangladesh Indian Army was very much confident to conquest on Bangladesh easily when they entered to the border of Bangladesh in the morning and as per the Captain they will sip tea at Dhaka by evening.  Alaas all the dreams of Indian captain scattered.


I can remember the English proverb “a drop of bad water makes an ocean dirty”  some persons and teams destroyed the prestige of gentleman game cricket.   Upto mid 19ties cricket was supposed to be the best sports amongst all.  But slowly slowly it lost its passion due to corruption, manipulation and politics entered in the game. 


In India the fascist and terrorists supportive political parties like Shiv Sena and indeed terrorists VHP, Bajrangdal and RSS always opposed the participation of Pakistan to play cricket on Indian soil.  Four years back these terrorists organizations opposed the presence of Australia cricket team to play in India.  I can remember the semi final of world cup 2011 played between India and Pakistan at Mohali on Mar 30, 2011.  But due to acute threat not to allow Pakistan cricket team at Bombay to play final by Shiv Sena Chief Bal Thackrey, there was severe pressure on Pakistan team to lost the battle.  Then India Minister Sharad Pawar had gone to meet Thackrey and discussed the issue if Pakistan have reached to final, will Shiv Sena allow it to play at Bombay.  Finally, Indian Government along with Sharad Pawar pressurized Pak team for lost, saying if Pak will win the match there would be severe communal violence across India and loss of Muslim lives.  In TV interview after the match Shaheed Afreedi the captain of Pak team openly criticized to Indian politicians, media and Hindu Public.  As per Shaheed Muslims are big hearted and Hindus have small hearts Hindus cannot sacrifice as Muslims are doing.  Semi final and final of the world cup 2011 was fix, and I had written an article on the issue. 


On 16 March 2012 Bangladesh beat India by 5 wickets, but here also very low umpiring was evident.  Four to five wrong decisions  favoured India and harm to Bangladesh.  But it may be the Friday effect that even century of Sachin 114 could not survive India and Bangladesh won by five wickets. 


Above mentioned points low the dignity of cricket rest destroyed the prestige of cricket by IPL.   Now IPL is become the gathering of  gambling,  prostitution, money making, liquor bar and involved in all the unethical means.  Better late than never, it is the right time for International Cricket Council to save the gentleman game Cricket and remove the tag of bad name from it.   Frame some strict rules and regulations for the players, cricket boards and teams.
