Sticky Wicket

In addition to his major problems with India, Pakistan's President Zulfikar Ali Bhutto last week also faced a challenge of sorts from Bombay's Cricket Club of India. The Indian members of the exclusive club were clean bowled recently to discover that Bhutto, who grew up in Bombay, still holds a life membership in the C.C.I. The club has scheduled a special meeting to resolve the situation. One faction wants to expel him: Bhutto in his prime may have been a rather good opening bat, but, dash it, did he not let the side down by declaring war on India? A smaller pro-Bhutto clique will argue for his continued membership. After all, if Prime Minister Indira Gandhi is willing to summit with the chap (probably at the end of the month), shouldn't the C.C.I, be equally forgiving?
