Bangalore: The Board of Control for Cricket in India's (BCCI) vice-president Lalit Modi has expressed concerns that India too could be sidelined, similar to Pakistan, after the recent terror attacks on Mumbai.
"India's chances of holding international cricket is something we need to think about seriously because becoming sidelined like Pakistan due to security threats is something that is logical," Modi has been quoted as saying in the The Times of India.
Modi was commenting after Mumbai witnessed terror attacks for the past three days, which forced the BCCI to abandon the seven-match One-Day series against England and postpone the Champions League Twenty20 tournament.
However, Modi said terrorists acts in Mumbai Terror would not deter India, and that it now meant the Indian government and the BCCI would now have to put together better security arrangements.
"We have to ensure that the security measures we take are the best. As I said, we shouldn't allow such attacks to disrupt our determination," he said.
"At the end of the day we have a problem and it is of a magnitude never seen before. To deal with it, the government and the Indian Army are working together. On the other hand, we cannot allow anybody to deter us," he added.
