ODI World Cup India: Former Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Khalid Mahmood has questioned the nation’s government for forming a committee to determine upon the cricket workforce’s participation within the ODI World Cup in India. The Pakistan Cricket Team is ready to tour India for a worldwide world occasion for the primary time since 2016. However, the PCB has reportedly said that the Babar Azam workforce’s participation in it’s depending on government approval. The World Cup begins on October 5.
Pakistan PM Shahbaz Sharif fashioned a high-level committee, headed by Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto to determine upon Pakistan’s participation within the marquee occasion. But Khalid has hit again at his government for the transfer. “The interesting thing is that no representative of the main stakeholder, the Pakistan Cricket Board is on the committee,” Mahmood stated in an interview as quoted by PTI.
Khalid additional added, “While I agree that there is no justification for India not to tour Pakistan now but this is not the way things are done at the international level. If you say that we are looking at the security situation before deciding to send team to India, that makes sense, but to say openly that if India doesn’t come to Pakistan then we will also not send team to India for World Cup, is mixing both things, which we have never done.”
Khalid was chairman of PCB earlier and underneath his tenure, Pakistan toured India in 1999. “When I was chairman in 1999, despite threats from India, we assessed the security situation for our team ourselves, by sending a delegation to India and advised the government we were willing to go to India,” he additional added.
The committee fashioned by Sharif will reportedly submit its suggestions to the PM after exploring and discussing the facets of Pakistan and India relations, the government’s coverage to maintain sports activities and coverage other than one another and in addition the scenario within the host nation India for gamers, officers, followers and media.
Pakistan may even be sending a safety delegation to the venues the place Pakistan is ready to play their cricket matches at. Babar Azam’s males shall be their World Cup matches throughout 5 venues in India. They will play all of the video games in Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Chennai and Bengaluru within the ten-nation match. The a lot anticipated India vs Pakistan match is ready to happen on October 15 in Ahmedabad.
