With the kind of money which is involved in the game today, it is certainly no more about being a game! And yes not to forget about the moolah which is being raked in by team members - millions for doing nothing from BCCI/PCB as well as from advertisers. Its all about a business and PCB/BCCI need ensure that the deal needs be delivered as well on part of players. Probably most fans in our sub-continent forget this part of game and become emotionally attached to whole thing and hence this dismay.. Friends none of these guys now play for nation's pride, its all about money!!
Yes there is no doubt that it makes us sad to see our home countries being taunted and laughed upon.... but alas in the end it makes no difference to people who matter.
