New Delhi.India has refused to go to Pakistan for next year’s Champions Trophy. BCCI has written an e-mail to ICC in this matter and told that the Indian government has not given permission for Team India to go to Pakistan. ICC has also sent this mail to Pakistan Cricket Board.
After this, there is an uproar in Pakistan. Former captain Javed Miandad has called it a ridiculous move and has even warned the ICC. Former Pakistan captain Javed Miandad, while reacting to this, talked about boycotting the matches against India. Miandad said, ‘Is this a joke? Even if we do not play with India (Indian team), we will progress in world cricket. I want to see how ICC will earn money if there is no match between India and Pakistan.
Another former Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq says, ‘They are depriving cricket of such a big opportunity. There is no threat to the Indian team in Pakistan. In fact, they will get the best hospitality here. Meanwhile, there is speculation in Pakistan that the country’s government may direct the PCB to stop playing against India in any ICC or other multi-team events starting with the Champions Trophy until the Indian government gives its approval. Does not change its policy.
Another former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif termed India’s stand as unacceptable. He said, ‘Enough is enough.’ When all the teams are playing in Pakistan without any problem, then this decision of India (Indian team) is completely political and it should be unacceptable in all sports including cricket, hockey.
