This excuse doesn't make any sense to me either. India are hosting NZ for a full series later this year. NZ don't have any iconic players to make this tour memorable or crowd pulling. Out of 4.4 million population, and cricket being the distant second or third party after Rugby, Footy, and others, at best few hundred thousand will watch the game on TV. We can get that much TV following from one neighborhood in Dhaka. Plus, Ind-Ban series can take multiple social, cultural rivalry while there is no such Ind-NZ bonds.
Its just BD tag. That's why BCCI is ignoring us.
