It is not easy to ignore a bid when India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh decide to come together.
We have some very good neutral venues like California, United Arab Emirates and Holland where there are a large number of expatriates of both countries and they would love to watch their cricketing heroes.
Our claim is a rightful one. The South Asian region has four of the 10 Test-playing nations and a large part of the money earned from cricket comes from here, so there is good reason that every third World Cup be held here. Our proposal is not about India alone. To see matches being held in more countries would mean more crowd participation.
The Asia Cup will be played in September 2007.

Yes, we have heard about this, but it has only happened in limited pockets and is not a serious nationwide issue. In the total milk production and cattle across the country, there are only a handful of such cases.
