re: #28 Sharmuta

From a CTV news article:

Schifrin said cricket is the only thing in the region that unites people.

“When, in 2004, Pakistan and India needed a thaw in their relations they didn’t turn to some diplomat, they turned to cricket and that actually helped for years the relationship between these two countries,” he said.

In London, International Cricket Council President David Morgan said his organization had no role in allowing the Sri Lankan team to travel to Pakistan because both sides had agreed to the match.

Morgan said hopefully cricket teams will be able to go to Pakistan in the future.

“We must not believe that Pakistan is going to remain unsafe for ever and ever and we must hope that it will not remain unsafe for too long,” Morgan told reporters Tuesday.
