Have an India vs [ country] ...you have huge crowds test/odi .

I think it is but natural.

Also , things are changing quick and fast in India .I would not imagine myself sitting through a Aus-Eng match forfitting my work.I might have done the same say 5 years ago ..but not anymore .The middle class in India right now cannot afford to leave office for a match that does not involve India .Also they have a choice in terms of entertainment so why watch a match that takes of their day in which their country is not involved.

I cant imagine Aussie fans watching a WI vs India match in sydney (apart form the Indians in Aus)

Afterall cricket is just a sport !!

Yes, you're right. But you fail to see how BD team is targeted. BCCI could have been more general, and said that they wouldn't host any match that doesn't involve Indian team.

Either way, I'm not interested in BCCI anymore, because their ideal scenario isn't an all-inclusive sporting environment. Sorry, but that's the reality.
