Just as believing too extensively in the 'conspiracy theory' or theories is wrong, harbouring a belief that we are living in a fair and just world, and no one stands to gain from conspiring against us, too isn't right. Infact it is much safer to believe in the 'conspiracy theory' (and to remain on guard and in a state of preparedness) than to lend a deaf ear and a blind eye to the probability of falling victim to an unexpected and unanticipated conspiracy.
The 'Lords Test' scandal in the end may indeed prove itself to be as 'conspiracy-free' as Kamran Khan wants himself (as well as us) to believe, and there may emerge an overwhelming and irrefutable evidence to the effect that all the three accused are born villains, and deserve no sympathy or lenient view. But let us not rule out the possibility that just as the NEWS OF THE WORLD editor assigned his reporter to buy his way into using Mr Azhar Majeed 'the fixer' as his instrument to trap the star players of Pakistan into a situation in which an open-and-shut case against them would not be hand to sell, the editor of the said newspaper too could have been 'lured' into a lucrative deal to target Pakistan and its team.
In the final reckoning, we may have to come to an ironical conclusion that the Hand of Destiny has chosen to conspire against Pakistan in a much bigger way and on a much wider scale. This governing or managing 'team' that is running the affairs of cricket in Pakistan may well be a product of Nature's conspiracy against us. Under this governing team, Pakistan is on the one hand continuously losing its image and good name and on the other hand its match-winning players too. The case of Mohammad Amir is the latest example of the erratic (or sinister) policies of a management team that is inherently incompetent, or corrupt (or both). All the top experts of the game of cricket are unanimous in the opinion that Mohammad Amir is the find of the decade on an international scale. The loss of such a naturally gifted player will not be an affordable loss to Pakistan. Coming back to the subject of 'the conspiracy theory' let it be pointed out that Pakistan's cricket has since long remained polarized between a Karachi lobby and a Lahore lobby, and the two lobbies have never ceased conspiring against each other. When you listen to Kamran Khan and Javed Miandad you know you are listening to the Karachi lobby. In sharp contrast to it is the Lahore lobby which doesn't want to lose Mohammad Amir to what could be a conspiracy against Pakistan cricket.
