Please note: This is a humorous piece – pure fiction.

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Zaka Ashraf recently suggested the christening of future India-Pakistan series as the Jinnah-Gandhi Trophy, after the two most revered figures in both countries — Muhammad Ali Jinnah and Mahatma Gandhi.

However, the suggestion wasn’t taken too kindly by some former and current cricketers and officials from India and Pakistan. CricketCountry managed to capture the animated discussion on Ashraf’s Facebook wall:
