The Indian cricket team was threatened with death before they went to Bangladesh. The Bangladesh govt. is obviously asking to ignore the threat. I don’t believe we should ignore it. The Islamist terrorists there are quite insane and given the bad history between India and yet another neighbor, it may be wiser not to go.

But the bottomline is that Dalmiya has a lot of obligations with the Bangladesh cricket board officials and has ensured that we not only go there, but with security lesser than what we had for the Pakistani tour.

My hope is that our team comes back safe and sound, now that it has been forced to go there despite the threats.
