Indian cricket board has submitted new code of conduct to the government. Also they want to play with Pakistan. See the story below.
Code of conduct for preventing future match fixing is a good thing, but do we still need to play with Pakistan?
This is pure agony and insult to all the Indians who love India and all the soldiers who have been killed by Pakistani backed militants. This is a shame on the part of Indian cricketers who wish to play with Pakistan just to get more revenues by way of more cricket matches!

Indian cricketers submit code to government
The Indian cricket board has submitted to the government a code of conduct which imposes penalties, including a life ban, on players found guilty of match-fixing.
The code was formulated after match-fixing allegations against some of India's top cricketers.
It has been criticised by some former cricket stars who have argued that the code's restrictions are ridiculous and could not be enforced.
The board's president A.C. Muthiah said the body has also sought permission from the government to play matches against Pakistan.
The government has recently denied permission for the national team to play against Pakistan for a second consecutive year.
