India has not played with Pakistan for last eight years in a bilateral series even when relations were better, a top official of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said , reacting to the statement.
- It has remained an upsetting moment for us as we have always tried to normalise Cricket ties.
- We need to keep sports and politics apart.
What former Pakistani batsman Mohammad Yousuf said:
- I am unable to get his points as they sounds pointless.
- Even when relations were better between both the nations, India did not play a bilateral series with us.
- BCCI head is making political statements despite International Cricket Council’s (ICC) condition of not tolerating government interference or politics in member of the boards.
- Anurag Thakur should decide first that either he will speak as a BJP leader or BCCI chief.
