Has it ever occurred to you why there is no team from Pakistan playing in the Champions League tournament,when it was initially decided there would be atleast one team from each of the top 10 cricketing nations?why aren't there any teams from Bangladesh,Zimbabwe,Ireland and the likes?why are there three teams from India and two each from Australia,South Africa and England(not participating this year),whereas other nations are allowed to send only one??is it really FAIR?
The answer is NO.im sorry if it hurts anyone but i strongly feel there is plenty of unfairness in this tournament.what was supposed to be a clash between champion and runner-up teams from across the world has turned out to be just another self-promotion camp from the major cricketing nations(read India,Australia,England,South Africa).
How else would one describe the ouster of Pakistani teams from the tournament and the addition of an extra Indian team?its really sad to see money and politics interrupt our beautiful game,also called 'the gentleman's game'.but it has gone far away from its other name.so far away that money(and keeping the rich happy) matters more to the personnel concerned rather than fair play.they would even stoop to the level of banning a team,if a certain mr.rich asks for it.
The thing is that the board(we all know which one) is greatly partial to the 'SUPERIOR' nations,usually giving into their demands and does not treat all with equality.why wont it??why SHOULD it??when you can have the support of the richest sporting body and the two oldest bodies of the sport,why go against them?you would rather dishearten the youth,the upcoming talent,the aspiring teams and make loads of false promises.would you not do the same??
The whole idea behind this article is to drive home the fact that there should be more fairness in the game and particularly this tournament.however ridden with conflicts nations may be,they should never be beleaguered like the Pakistani domestic teams were.even though it was said during the previous edition of the tournament that the teams would not be part of the Champions League for only one season,there is no mention of them taking part in this years tournament also.plus,the number of teams taking part from each nation should be the same.after all,they all work equally hard to get noticed on such a big platform...hoping this would not be the same next year as well so that i would not have to write such a long article.

I mean they are no champions, not even runner up.
