Statements: Indian cricket team should continue playing against the Pakistan cricket team.

I. Yes, it attracts both Indian and Pakistani audiences → Cricket or any sport is not played merely to attract audiences. This is a weak reason to encourage the continuation of cricket between India and Pakistan. Therefore, argument 1 is not strong.

II. No, it creates a dispute between India and Pakistan → Playing cricket or any sport need not create a conflict between two countries. Thus, this is also a weak reason to discontinue the cricket matches between Pakistan and India. Therefore, argument 2 is not strong.

Hence, 'Both arguments I and II are not strong' is the correct answer.
