Cricket Australia's Flip-Flop casts a shadow on Cricket

Cricket Australia's flip-flop regarding the India Tour on the grounds of security concerns has kicked up a new controversy, already CA has canceled its Champions Trophy campaign along with a host of other cricket playing nations including South Africa, England, West Indies etc.,

And now Cricket Australia has held an internal inquiry whether it is safe to conduct a tour in India under the circumstances, and only after taking into all the aspects into consideration the tour has been given a green signal, I think it is a bit harsh on the Champions Trophy hosts Pakistan, what with the PCB officials voicing displeasure in the press. There needs to be a consensus on the issue, whether the Australian team is going to play Cricket or it is going to play a pick and choose game. If it is playing Cricket it should play Cricket and leave all the other worries aside.

It is understandable the home conditions in Australia are quite different with what we get to see here, but these are what the available conditions in the sub-continent, I think the canceling of the Champions Trophy and the latest Flip-Flop of the Cricket Australia of the India tour has surely cast a shadow on the beautiful game of Cricket, which is very unfortunate.
