After what happened in mumbai on november 26,the England cricket team left for their home midway through the One-Day series.Now they are returning to India for the planned Test series.Well then my question is that whether this is the correct time to play cricket ,when entire mumbai is yet to recover from the 26/11 debacle.
Yes,this is the right time for the game to be played because this will divert the mind of those traumatised people to something they have loved for years.For the past few weeks almost every news channel has been telecasting the same incident again and again.Atleast these news channels will now have some other news to telecast.I am sure this cricket will be able to clear some fear that is still prevailing in people's mind.
But we have to thank ECB(English Cricket Board) for letting their players to play in India.Had England evaded itself from the test series then i am sure India could have gone the pakistan way where no international side has visited for the past couple of years.Even hats-off to the England cricket players who have accepted to play in india.There was wide speculation after the Mumbai attacks the England team will call off their India tour.But according to the england players the way to express their solidarity towards the people who have lost their lives is to play cricket in india.There was even
speculation about some england players such as Andrew filntoff and Harmision will not play,but the entire England has turned for the test series.Some media even states that "Had england not comeback for the test series,their players would have lost the chance to play in the cash-rich IPL".
Whatever may be the reason for england to comeback for the test series,we all pray that the series goes on safely and hope India wins the test series as well.
