Double Standards of ICC and International Media

A British News Paper disclosed the fact that there is a link between Indian player Suresh Raina and Bookies. CCTV Cameras recording shows that more than one time Raina was accompanied by a lady known for links with bookies. A report was sent by Sri Lankan Cricket Board to Indian Cricket Board.  But BCCI was showing that nothing has been happened.

Imagine if any Pakistani did so, what would be the response of ICC and International Media, especially Indian Media. So many questions arise here. Is ICC suspended Suresh Riana as ICC has done with Pakistani Players. If not, why? Only footages were evidence against Pakistani players. These types of evidence are available against Raina also. What is ICC waiting for? Has ICC established special task force to look the issues of Indian Cricket Board as ICC did in case of Pakistan. Where is Mr. Malcolm Speed, Darrell Hair, Ian Both and Nasir Hussain who had demanded ban on Pakistan cricket in the similar type of situation. Where is Mr. Anil Kumble who was in favor to stop the England and Pakistan ODIs series.  Would he like to comment on the Suresh Raina Issue. Haroon Lorgat also needs to clear his position. Because he was the one who reached England and then ban the Pakistani players.

The double standards of ICC and International Media are visible for every one. This situation is not helpful for the game. If some one is sincere with the game, he should treat every player and country equally.
