Delhi: Many Pakistani players are angry over India's decision not to go to Pakistan for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. In such a situation, the name of former captain Javed Miandad is at the forefront. Miandad has suggested Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to boycott all matches against India in future.
He said that Pakistan should show that it can not only maintain its identity even without playing India but can also be successful in cricket. Miandad also said that this has been done before also.
According to news agency PTI, Miandad said, “It is a joke that the situation has reached this level. Even if we do not play against India, Pakistan cricket will not only retain its identity but will also prosper, as we have shown in history. I want to see how ICC makes money without India and Pakistan.”
India-Pakistan are not playing bilateral series
This statement of Miandad clearly shows his displeasure. Due to political tension between India and Pakistan, both the countries come face to face only in ICC tournaments or multi-nation tournaments like Asia Cup and do not play bilateral series. The last bilateral series between the two teams took place a decade ago, while India has not toured Pakistan since the Mumbai attacks in 2008.
