England should play test cricket here ??
I think England should be persuaded to tour, but change the locations to Bangalore and Kolkata or Chennai and Kolkata for the 2 Tests. They should be given top-level Presidential security...I know it's hard for people to understand how I can be saying this in the wake of this horrific tragedy - believe me, as an Indian I'm more horrified and disgusted than anyone else, but I believe cricket is a great healer and cricketers can make a difference. When India toured Pakistan in 2004, it was in the wake of severe terrorist attacks but they still were welcomed and given full security. In fact it would be good if someone like Saurav Ganguly offers the England players to stay in his house at least while they are in Kolkata, which is pretty big and can probably hold a whole cricket team and more...it would be a different experience for most England cricketers but I'm sure they'll like it.
