Should India lose ICC test ranking points for refusing to play Pakistan?

CricInfo did some research into how lucky/unlucky bowlers had been since they started doing bbb descriptions and concluded that Sami had been the unluckiest bowler since 2001 based on umpiring, dropped catches, plays and misses etc. That was a year or two ago now though, and it still only suggested he should be averaging 42 or so - so he was both unlucky and rubbish. :p

Kaneira scored quite highly in the unlucky stakes didn't he?

I think I once compiled a list of how many catches Amir had dropped by Akmal and it was a ridiculous amount.

Out-of-form India avoiding facing Pak: PCB - Indian Express

PCB chairman Zaka Ashraf has claimed that India is not keen on playing cricket against Pakistan as the BCCI fears its out-of-form team would struggle against Misbah-ul-Haq and Co.
“If you see our team is doing very well and it has beaten England. The players are charged up and their morale is very high. In contrast everyone knows how the Indian team has been performing in Australia,” the PCB chief told ‘Geo News’.

“I get a feeling they are avoiding playing us because Pakistan team is doing very well. What I know is that perhaps the Indian board doesn’t want to play at this time because it is nervous that if their team loses against us the reaction of their people could be strong,” he added.

The bilateral cricket ties between the two countries have been frozen since the Mumbai terror attacks in November, 2008. India cancelled a scheduled FTP tour to Pakistan in early 2009 and also sidelined a series at home against Pakistan this year. Pakistani players are also being kept out of the Indian Premier League for the third successive edition.

Ashraf said the Indian board had so far not responded to any efforts by Pakistan to resume ties.

That's not my opinion....I have no idea why BCCI does not want to play Pakistan...I was merely clarifying that PCB chairman was talking about the current context

Just no. For it to make sense in the current context, the decision to not play Pakistan would have to be one made recently. This is clearly not the case.

Have to say, as a neutral I'd love to see a Pak/India series soon. Polar opposite sides in terms of mentality I'd say, would be a fascinating contest.
