Stepping up the offensive against Pakistan in the wake of the deadly Pulwama terror attack, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has written a letter to the International Cricket Council (ICC), asking it to oust Pakistan from the upcoming 2019 Cricket World Cup in England and Wales.
BCCI CEO Rahul Johri has sent an email to the ICC, requesting to remove Pakistan from the World Cup as it has continued to harbour terrorists in its own backyard and has provided support to terrorism against India.
Forty CRPF personnel were killed last week in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama district when a Jaish-e-Mohammed suicide bomber rammed his explosive-laden vehicle into the bus on which the CRPF jawans were travelling.
The BCCI has categorically stated in its letter that the mood in the nation is against playing Pakistan and India would not compromise when it comes to terrorism.
The recent move from the BCCI comes a day after Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan’s statement where he failed to condemn the Pulwama terror attack.
The Cricket World Cup begins on May 30 in England. India is scheduled to play Pakistan in Manchester on June 16.”
