Srinagar: Legendary Pakistan cricketer Javed Miandad has asked India to forget security and travel to Pakistan for Asia Cup and other series.
There is Tussle going on between BCCI and PCB over Asia Cup and Cricket World Cup 2023. BCCI reluctant to travel to Pakistan for Asia Cup while as PCB has taken stand that if India doesnt travel to Pakistan for Asia Cup, Pakistan will not travel to India for World Cup.
Meanwhile a report has emerged which stated that as per ICC sources, Pakistan could prefer playing their World Cup matches in Kolkata and Chennai. On an episode on the Nadir Ali podcast, Miandad was asked about his views on India’s refusal to travel to Pakistan due to ‘security’ concerns.
“Forget security. We believe that Agar Maut Aani Hai Toh Aani Hai. Zindagi Aur Maut Toh Allah Ke Haath Mein Hai” (If you’re destined to die, you will die. Life and death is in the hands of the almighty). If they call us today, we will go. But they should return too. The thing is the last time we went, but they haven’t come here since. It’s their turn now.”
Ever since the horrific Mumbai attacks of 2008, India have severed all its cricketing ties with Pakistan – there was a small tour in 2012 but that’s it.
