Batting great Javed Miandad said Pakistan should not travel to the neighbouring country for matches, including this year’s ICC ODI World Cup, until the BCCI agrees to send its team to his nation first.
Batting great Javed Miandad said Pakistan should not travel to the neighbouring country for matches, including this year's ICC ODI World Cup, until the BCCI agrees to send its team to his nation first.
As per the draft schedule prepared by the ICC, Pakistan is scheduled to play India in the blockbuster World Cup clash at the Narendra Modi stadium in Ahmedabad on October 15.
But the 66-year-old former captain feels it is now India's time to reciprocate by touring Pakistan.
"Pakistan has been to India in 2012 and even in 2016 now it is the turn of the Indians to come here," Miandad said.
"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.
"Pakistan cricket is bigger...we are still producing quality players. So I don't think even if we don't go to India it will make any difference to us," he added.
India last visited Pakistan in 2008 for the 50-over Asia Cup. Since then bilateral cricket ties were suspended due to long-standing geopolitical tensions between the two nations.
