A humdinger is expected

This refers to the report titled “We’ve been told not to worry” (MM, November 4). As a cricket buff, I am extremely thrilled with the news that the upcoming India-Pakistan series will carry on despite the imposition of a state of emergency in Pakistan and the Pakistan Cricket Board has asked Shoaib Malik and his teammates to focus on the cricket. Political upheaval should not affect sport. India-Pakistan matches have always been exciting contests, and I am sure this series between the two neighbouring countries will also be a humdinger.

Game must go on

This refers to the report 'We've been told not to worry' (MM, November 4). As a cricket buff, I am thrilled that the upcoming India-Pakistan series will go on, inspite of imposition of emergency in Pakistan and the Pakistan Cricket Board has asked Shoaib Malik and his team-mates to focus on the game. Political upheavals should not affect sports. India-Pakistan matches have always been exciting, and I am sure this series will be no different.
