Whats this controversy

Well many have written about this issue but I am writing it now as I hardly found time to visit my blog these days due to my college and project work. OK moving on to the subject this is about the BCCI v/s ICC (again!!! ) due to the WADA’s anti-doping code. The ICC wanting all its member countries to sign the WADA’s anti-doping code as ithas its ambition to get included in the olympic games and the Indian players objecting to the whereabout clause citing privacy and security issues.

Actually it has been many days since when this issue started and lot has been came in front in the media. A lot of views has been aired on this issues. Many other sportspersons trying to persuade the cricketers to sign the contract because they think that they owe this to the game. Its their duty to keep the game clean and the doubts about their security are not reasonable as their data is being handled only by the concerned official of WADA. While there also had been some who supported the cricketers supporting their arguments.

I think the ICC, BCCI and Indian cricketers had goofed it up all. The Indian players had the problem from the beginning. So they and the BCCI should have communicated this problem to the ICC before the deadline so that the ICC could have arranged a meeting with the BCCI, Indian players and a representative from WADA to iron out the differences, clearing the security doubts of the Indian players and making some changes to the clause if necessary. Because now if ICC decides to punish India then we have to be devoid of cricket for some time.

The only thing that I didn’t understand is that why other international cricketers in the testing pool from other countries agreed to abide by it within the July 31 deadline eventhough they had  practicality concerns about the clause?
