Islamabad – Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman Najam Sethi has criticized India’s stance of not going to Pakistan for Asia Cup cricket. Najam Sethi asked in the press conference that there is no problem for any other team to come to Pakistan to play the Asia Cup and why only India is so worried about security. The head of the Pakistan Cricket Board said that he will express his position in the meetings of the Asian Cricket Council and the ICC.
“All teams are coming to Pakistan to play. They have no complaints. Why is India alone so concerned about security? If that is the case then we are also concerned about sending our team to India for the ODI World Cup. I will say these things in the coming meetings. We cannot support this position of India, we have to hold the Asia Cup,” said Najam Sethi.
“I have spoken to the government of Pakistan about the current situation. If India doesn’t come for the Asia Cup, but they suggest to go there for the World Cup, what can we do? If they say don’t go, it will be a situation similar to that of India,” said Najam Sethi. The head of the Pakistan Cricket Board clarified his position while the meeting of the International Cricket Council is to be held this month.
India continues to decide not to go to Pakistan for Asia Cup cricket. There is also consideration of shifting India’s matches in Asia Cup to some other venue like UAE. Najam Sethi had earlier threatened that if India did not go to Pakistan for the Asia Cup, he would not go to India to play the World Cup.
