If India won’t travel then they don’t play, simples. I know they bring a lot of money into cricket but the Cricket world shouldn’t be blackmailed by them.

Give in to this and what’s next??

Is right! Fuck India and their sense of entitlement. I remember when the technology,(Hawkeye, DRS etc) was brought in, India refused to accept it and insisted all of their games were played without it. Meaning in effect that all of their internationals and Tests were played under different rules to the rest of us. That is when they should have been told to take it or leave it instead of indulging them. They, and especially their supporters would have soon got fed up with domestic cricket only. I accept the money aspect is an issue but the bullet should be bitten, carry on without them. They will soon be begging to come back into the fold.
