Unfounded claims

The two Pakistani cricketers Salman and Aamir, under ICC suspension, have unnecessarily blurted out against the governing body after the recent hearing on their appeals against their suspension in Dubai casting doubts on the impartiality of Michael Beloff, the ICC code of conduct commissioner. They also claimed to have been punished for being Pakistanis and saw a conspiracy against Pakistan cricket. Im sorry, they seem to be spoiling their case themselves by these unfounded claims. First of all, being professional cricketers, they must abide by the games rules and must keep fighting their case lawfully but, quietly. Secondly, if at all they see some larger conspiracy, all the more reason that they should be more careful in their conduct and focus their energies on removing these shameful blots on their character in particular and on the country in general.
