What good would boycotting a mere cricket match do to the families of the dead? Will it make a difference to the father who had watch his own daughter die ? Boycotting the game, would lead to a chain of effects that would shadow our own pride. Once you read the news, your heart aches, you will feel the urge to do something , to somehow help the girl. But a week from now, all will be forgotten. Only the family will remember.
Should our cricketers wear a black arm band? Yes.
Can they? I am not sure. It will be potrayed as a big issue, and should India take it as offense, It wont be great for us.
Thats the sad truth. In politics, we do as they say. Even in the world of cricket, they hold the power.
Shakib, crush them. Atleast for the sake of that little girl, win.
