The initial question to be answered is : Whether it is necessary for such a security cover?
If ICC has awarded the previlege of holding the WC to WI, they would have taken all precautions, they would have cinducted all these tests, and being satisfied with all the arrangements available in WI to conduct an event of this magnitude.
WC is not a small event when ICC would want to take chances. In such a light of circmstances it is evident and obvious the security system provided by WI would be sufficient and meet the requirements of the situation.
If ICC, at any point of time, would have had reasons to believe that WI would not be able to meet the required standards, then the venue might have been changed, if warranted.
What is being objected over here is the cost of sending such a high profile team which is felt to be unnecessary.
Nobody has made a remark about the capability and efficiency of the NSG commandos. It is a well known fact that NSG are the ULTIMATE in terms of security.No doubt about that.
But is it necessary to send such a team to WI? Are our players so unsafe in WI? Will WI, being the host for this prestigious event compromise on the security of the players converging from all the member countries?
