Former cricketers of Pakistan have requested the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) that the Pakistan team must play in the T20 World Cup. He clearly says that Pakistan cricket cannot be led towards destruction in the name of supporting Bangladesh. Even after the meeting between PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi and Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif, a decision could not be taken on Pakistan’s participation in the World Cup. Naqvi said that the final decision can be taken on Friday or Monday next week.
Former Pakistan Test captain Mohammad Hafeez has requested the PCB to send the Pakistan team to play the World Cup. Former chairman of Pakistan Cricket Board Khalid Mahmood and former secretary of the board Arif Ali Abbasi also reiterated the same thing. Abbasi said that the decision to support Bangladesh was understandable, but what does boycotting the World Cup have to do with it.
Abbasi said, “What about the relations with Sri Lanka? Obviously, if Pakistan does not play, Sri Lanka will have to suffer because all the matches of the Pakistan team are to be held in Sri Lanka.” On the other hand, Khalid Mahmood also said that PCB should focus more on Pakistan cricket.
What basis does Pakistan have?
Mohsin Khan, a former test batsman and chief selector of Pakistan, said that even if relations between India and Pakistan are not good, the Pakistani team is already going to play all its matches in Sri Lanka. Mohsin Khan said that in such a situation, on what basis is the PCB thinking of boycotting the T20 World Cup? Doing this will not be good for Pakistan cricket.
Apart from him, former captains of Pakistan cricket team, Inzamam ul Haq and Mohammad Yusuf have also said that PCB should take any major decision only after thinking very carefully. All these people say that Pakistan should think about the interest of its cricketers before Bangladesh.
