Is the name Crusaders politically correct?

I guess so.

Likewise for Western Warriors :)

Sialkot vs Rajasthan will be an interesting game
Malik vs Warne :D

and Malik and Tanvir on seperate sides

[alexjohn_tcr]

I dont think these matches will attract much interest in India.matches involving rajasthan & Chennai may get some crowd.Nobody knows who plays for Bushrangers or Dolphins etc.IPL was such a success because of the presence of International stars

[Asad7]

Is the name Crusaders politically correct?

In general, when it comes to '*****' then everything is correct and well according to their freedom of speech and thoughts. Bet if there was a Sialkot Mujahideen or Lashka-re-Sialkot or you know ..., they would have never made it. I am against any sort of political name that would cause concerns.

If Sialkot Stallions win this then forget there being another one next year. I remember when England did one in 2005 and Faisalabad Wolves won it, we never heard about it again!

The wolves ate all those english clubs :D

Nobody knows who plays for Bushrangers

The Bushrangers have won the Australian domestic T20 tournament three years in a row and like Sialkot havent lost a game yet.

they have got a few pretty good players in Brad Hodge, David Hussey and Cameron White.
