Shahid Afridi showed the mirror to PCB, said - If India is showing you eyes then even ICC will not do anything
IND vs PAK: The tussle started over the Asia Cup is not taking the name of ending. Meanwhile, former Pakistan cricketer Shahid Afridi has shown the mirror to his own board. He has said that if India is showing you eyes then even ICC will not do anything in this.
The tussle between India and Pakistan regarding the Asia Cup 2023 continues. Pakistan is to host the Asia Cup to be held in September 2023, but it has been made clear by the BCCI that the Indian team will not go to Pakistan to play the tournament at any cost. Therefore, the tournament should be organized at a neutral venue. At the same time, PCB Chairman Najam Sethi has also said that the Pakistani team will not come to India for the ODI World Cup to be held in October-November if the Indian team does not come to Pakistan. Now on this tussle former Pakistan cricketer Shahid Afridi has shown the mirror to his own board.
Shahid Afridi said during a conversation with Pakistani TV channel Sama TV that a similar situation arises when you do not stand on your own feet. That's why the decision should be taken after thinking carefully. He said that if India is showing you eyes then it is strong. In such a situation, Pakistan will have to strengthen itself before taking any difficult decision. One of the other stands will have to be taken regarding Asia and the World Cup.
Shahid Afridi said that the ICC rule should be important in this matter. He should come forward, but even ICC can't do anything in front of the BCCI. Afridi said that in 2025 the Champions Trophy will also be held in Pakistan. He said that the ICC has nothing to do with the Asia Cup. While the World Cup is an ICC tournament. If Pakistan does not play in the World Cup, then it may suffer a loss of around 245 crores.
Afridi said that cricket is everything in our country. That's why don't take decisions emotionally. No bilateral series has been played between India and Pakistan for a long time. Both countries play against each other only in big tournaments. Recently, Ravichandran Ashwin said that India may not go to Pakistan to play the Asia Cup, but they will have to come to India to play the World Cup.
