Sania Should Stop Playing For India

The people are agog over the marriage between Sania Mirza and Shoeb Malik. Sania is from India and Shoeb is from Pakistan. Already Sania Mirza is known as a glamour girl. She has got more publicity than what she deserves, if going by her sports record. The various online forums and TV channels are running messages from her fans criticising her decision.

The hype went to such level that the proposed wedding today figured in Maharashtra Legislative Council. Opposition Shiv Sena raised the issue of increasing number of cheating cases of spouses by foreigners. "Marriage cheating cases are increasing and in Sania's matter there are reports about her fiance (Shoaib Malik) being already married," MLC Neelam Gorhe said during a debate on the law and order situation in the state.

For me, it is a routing affair. There is nothing one can do to stop such marriages. Sania knows she is marrying an already married man. It is her decision. But after marriage, she should not be allowed to play for India. Because whatever tournament she takes part in, she is going to benefit from it. How can we allow Pakistani nationals to benefit monetarily by posing as an Indian?

If she is ready to part way with India, let her do it. But then, let us not allow her to make profit from her Indian credentials.
