No Cricket with Pakistan, isolate it globally, says Anurag Thakur

Kozihikode: Following the Uri terror attack, Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) chief Anurag Thakur on Saturday said that there is no question of Indian Cricket team playing with arch-rivals Pakistan in the near future.

"In the context of what has happened even considering such a thought is not appropriate," said Thakur.

He was here to attend the BJP National Council meet.

What else Anurag Thakur said?

• India has such forces that carry the ability to destroy Pakistan in moments but our major aim is to isolate the terrorism supportive nation globally.
• There are not any plans regarding playing Cricket with Pakistan in 2016.
• India’s plans of maintaining relationship with Pakistan dropped owing to the Uri terror attack in which our 19 Army jawan martyred.

Thakur, who is also an Territorial Army (TA) officer, said, “ We have defeated Pakistan in each and every platform whether it is wars of 1965, 1971 and Kargil or World Cup cricket matches.”
