Any kind of ganging up by a group of countries is not in the interest of cricket. ICC, as a parent body of the game, should ensure this. The issue is not, not going ahead with the Champions Trophy in Pakistan, but the overall issue of togetherness of the member countries of ICC when such sensitive matters crop up.

A view was expresed in some columns, whether the Champions Trophy it self was relevant today ? ICC should deliberate and take a stand on the number of tournaments being played...also keeping in view the popularity of T-20 format, and also the need to pay more attention to Test format to retain the beauty of the game.
