**Interview with Vinod Roy, Chairman of the BCCI Committee of Administrators**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today, Mr. Roy. Recent statements from the BCCI regarding Pakistan’s participation in cricket have stirred quite a debate. You mentioned that the call for isolation was made with public sentiment in mind. Can you elaborate on that?
**Vinod Roy:** Absolutely. My main focus was to respond to the overwhelming public opinion at that time. The environment surrounding the Pulwama incident was charged, and there was tremendous pressure for a strong stance against Pakistan. However, it’s crucial to clarify that I do not support the outright isolation of Pakistan in cricket. My comments were aimed at projecting a position that resonated with the sentiments of the fans.
**Interviewer:** You’ve stated that sporting events should not be politicized. Following the Pulwama attack, do you believe your call for treating Pakistan similarly to South Africa during the apartheid era contradicts that principle?
**Vinod Roy:** That’s a valid question. In hindsight, equating the two situations may seem problematic. However, my intentions were to highlight the need for accountability. While I advocate for sports to promote unity, I also understand the complexities that arise from real-world events. The Olympic Charter emphasizes human rights, which complicates matters. It’s a nuanced situation that demands careful consideration.
**Interviewer:** You mentioned concerns about losing points in a crucial tournament if India refused to play Pakistan. Does financial gain for the BCCI play a role in these decisions?
**Vinod Roy:** There is certainly a practical aspect to consider. Refusing to play could result in significant competitive disadvantages. Our revenue is also tied to these matches, especially when playing against high-profile teams like Pakistan. Nevertheless, the decision was not purely about financial incentives; it was also about maintaining our position within the tournament framework.
**Interviewer:** You suggested that there could be options to compete with Pakistan at neutral venues. What are your thoughts on this as a viable solution moving forward?
**Vinod Roy:** Competing at neutral venues could offer a compromise. It allows us to fulfill obligations to our fans and the cricketing community without directly endorsing or enabling the political climate that surrounds these matches. It’s a way to find common ground while still respecting the complex dynamics at play.
**Interviewer:** In closing, how do you envision the future of India-Pakistan cricketing relations?
**Vinod Roy:** I believe there’s always hope for a positive shift. Cricket has historically been a bridge between cultures. While political tensions are significant, the passion for cricket in both countries cannot be understated. I remain hopeful that we can reach a point where cricket can once again unite us.
**Interviewer:** Thank you for your insights, Mr. Roy.
**Discussion Question for Readers:** How do you feel about the intersection of politics and sports, particularly in the context of India and Pakistan’s cricketing history? Do you believe that the BCCI’s stance on Pakistan’s participation is justified, or should sports remain separate from political considerations?
