India agar aankhe dikha raha hain (If India is revealing mindset), or taking such strong position, then they have actually made themselves that strong, thus they are having the ability to talk like this, otherwise they would not have the guts. At the end it’s making yourself strong and after that take choices.
“I have no concept, will India see Pakistan for the Asia Cup? Will we boycott the ODI World Cup in India? We require to take a stand at some point or the other. In this case ICC’s function ends up being important, they need to step forward. I believe even ICC will not have the ability to do anything in front of BCCI.”
