Former Pakistan cricketer Javed Miandad expressed his disapproval of the BCCI, which has asked that Pakistan should refrain from participating in the forthcoming ODI World Cup. Let us tell you that the 2023 ODI World Cup is slated to be played in India.
Miandad expressed his opinion that the Pakistan team should boycott playing matches in India unless the BCCI agrees to play matches in Pakistan. As per the draft schedule recently unveiled by the ICC, India and Pakistan will face each other at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on October 15 during the ODI World Cup.
The former cricketer of Pakistan notified that the Indian team should visit Pakistan before the upcoming World Cup. The last time India travelled to Pakistan was in 2008 for the 50-over Asia Cup, and bilateral series between the two nations have been cancelled since then due to political conflicts. Miandad has given this statement as Pakistan is looking to host the Asia Cup in a hybrid model among the top Asian teams.
According to a quote by Times Of India, Miandad said,”Pakistan has been to India in 2012, and even in 2016, now it is the turn of the Indians to come here, If I had to make a decision I would never go to India to play any match, even the World Cup. We are always ready to play them (India) but they never respond in the same manner.”
