India and Pakistan have not played bilateral cricket since 2012 owing to political differences between the two countries after the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks. Now, After Indian government once again refused to play bilateral series against the neighbors, Former Pakistan coach and captain Javed Miandad has asked PCB to forget about playing India in the near future.
“They (India) don’t want to play with us so be it. Our cricket will not die if we don’t play with India. We should move on and forget about them,” Miandad said.
“They haven’t played against us since the last 10 years, so what? Has our cricket gone down? No we have done well. The Champions Trophy win is an example. Cricket cannot die in Pakistan. We have also survived without international cricket at home since 2009,” he pointed out.
“Today the PCB is financially stable but there is a need for proper accountability of where the money that comes from the ICC is spent. There is a need to reduce the administrative expenses of the board and get rid this army of advisors, consultants and employees” he added.
