India have called off their tour of Pakistan following a directive from the government and Kamran Abbasi feels as the self-appointed guardian of cricket’s conscience, India have failed their most important test of conscience. He writes in the Pakistan daily Dawn:
The PCB must not take India’s decision lying down either. The matter should be taken up at the ICC and the hypocrisy of the international cricket community exposed — a community that dances too quickly to India’s financial tune, at the expense of less fortunate cricket nations and cricketers. India fought a 30-year campaign to win control of international cricket, and it has more than achieved that aim. Yet leadership comes with responsibilities, and there is currently little to suggest that India intends to rule with wisdom and foresight. While there is mounting evidence that its motivating force is self-interest.
