Former Board of Control for Cricket in India Board president Raj Singh Dungarpur on Friday cautioned that India might face isolation in the cricketing world if it continues with its policy of not playing against Pakistan.

Terming the cancellation of the proposed Sharjah tri-series in aid of the Gujarat quake victims as a 'wrong decision', Dungarpur told PTI in Jaipur that during a visit to Pakistan in connection with a meeting of the marketing committee of the International Cricket Council, he had a feeling that India was being isolated on the issue.

"I was personally very disappointed when the proposed tour of Sharjah did not materialise. This was a wrong decesion by the polticians. When we can have Pakistan aid for the earthquake victims, why cannot we play against Pakistan?" Dungarpur asked.

"Many Arab concerns were ready to provide crores of rupees for the earthquake victims. India or Pakistan may have won or lost but it would have been a victory for the game of cricket in any case," he added.
