PCB accused of ignoring talented players

So much hype was created before the start of the ongoing New Zealand tour of Pakistan cricket team but as usual the result like past is a much disappointed one, as the tourists lost both of their opening Twenty20 matches from a team that was easily beaten by India and Bangladesh quite recently.
The Green Shirts were completely outplayed by the Kiwis who were not even at full strength, as their captain Daniel Vittori and star wicketkeeper batsman Brendon McCullum are both out due to injuries. Even then they easily managed to beat Pakistani side. As long as the ICC doesn't decide the fate of tainted cricketers - Mohammad Aamer, Muhammad Asif and Salman Butt - Pakistan is feared to suffer heavily in the near future too, as both Aamer and Asif are the backbone of Pakistani bowling squad and without them the bowling clearly lacks the killer instant which is required to destroy the opponents batting line-up.
The double standard of ICC is now clearly visible as it was witnessed time and again and the latest example is of Australian Captain Ricky Ponting who kept on arguing with the umpires and was just fined 40 per cent of his match fee rather than being banned for bringing the game in dispute.
The ICC doesn't care about the so-called gentlemen of cricket but never miss a chance to severely punish an Asian player, specially if it is from Pakistan as our associations are too scared to help their players even though when they are completely innocent.
The PCB has to change its attitude towards dealing with ICC as the time is ripe to adopt a clear-cut policy in dealing with the highest body that governs the cricket affairs all over the world. If these three players are guilty, then give them exemplary punishment so no one dare do this again but if all three are innocent then for God's sake don't destroy their carriers.
