An offer to all Pakistanis

[pcfan123]

Thinking about this on a serious note, Im surprised there has not already been youngsters on the domestic scene who try to go play for the other country. Sort of an Ireland - England type deal. If International Cricket continues to not be hosted in Pakistan, then perhaps in the future talented young Pakistani fast bowlers will try to go play for India. I don't see why not, they would get way more exposure, money, fame, games at "home" etc etc.

Dude No Pakistani would play for India, and No Indian would play for a Pakistani. Its mutual rivalry.

Crying shame then, someone like Badri could easily have moved to Pakistan and he would have played 100+ Tests for them, he will be lucky to get 25 for India.

I don't see how its a shame. The rivalry between the two is like Australia and England. Players would rather retire, than play for the other. Its what makes things so compelling when they play each other.

Darren Pattinson begs to differ

Was talking about players with talent.

aaah you say that, but if things went really bad then I don't know. no scotsman would dream of turning out for england in another sport but in cricket they don't have a choice and so do it.

I'd love to see Asia XI vs England/Australia combined. That would certainly create some great viewing. I can see it now. Catch Sanga/Dhoni, bowler Aamer/Asif.

I'd ad SA to Eng+Aus

Its like English separated not only India and Pakistan in 47. They've separated Bowlers and batsman too...

Why can't they get back together again? We've separated for just 63 years. Been together hell a lot longer than that. As for the name, new country could be called " United India and Pakistan" UIP or United States of India and Pakistan. USIP.

They chose to be separate. Why would they want to get together again? Bangladesh and Pakistan are a different story though.

 

[McLOVIN]

^ How is that a different story? Why would Bangladesh want to be with be with Pakistan? They got rid of them.

There will a huge argument about why it's UIP, why not UPI, or USPI?

Lol what a bad deal for India no offense to Pakistan. They are one of the richest emerging economies and Pakistan are consistently in the bottom 10.
