Absolutely nothing should justify cheating and betraying your own country. It's a shame that you could even think of such an excuse. Pakistani players make more than enough money with their PCB contracts to be able to live very happily in Pakistan. On top of that you add sponsorship deals, bonuses, and other prize money they win. These guys are one of the richest in Pakistan.
I didnt say it was right or wrong, i said that that was the reason.
Imagine you are accountant who gets paid 100,000 dollars a year, while others who work with you get paid 1,000,000 for the same job.
Too many times we think that players are also fans and should play with the same passion that we view them as. We dont understand that they play the game so much, their are so many wins and losses that they tend to lose track and really stop caring.
we think of them as heroes so we think the best of them. We take our best qualities and we project them to have these qualities, but infact they are just human. Human being is not a perfect being and is privy to all sorts of sins. Its important to understand that.
Quite frankly in my opinion, if they players CANNOT be charged in the court of law, then they have the RIGHT to sue the ICC for being banned. Thats my objective view. Show me proff that that video was shot beforehand, show me the time stamps, show me authenticity.
As a pakistani i rather Amir on my worldcup team then not, and i will always say what i always have believed.
Show me proof or lift the suspension. All other evidence is CIRCUMSTANTIAL!
