I agree it would have been better if BCCI had refused at the very start but the thing is they never anticipated such public backlash. They were thinking that they will wrap Ind-Pak cricket match as Ind vs Pak, in general, as usual and the public will flock to watch. They had no idea that most Indian public wants nothing to do with a terrorist nation like Pakistan.
They could have still made ammends after the huge backlash and would have lost points, money & even the title but would have won our hearts. But they chose money & their ego over our sentiments. Now they have created a black chapter for themselves just for some money & their ego.
P.S. - Indian public tournament shuru hone ke pehle se protest kar rahi hai against playing with Pakistan but BCCI is riding on its high horse...too proud & greedy to listen to the general public
