Leading cricket team and leading country very different: Azhar to Imran

TIL Desk/National/Hyderabad/ Congress leader and former India captain Mohammed Azharuddin on Friday said he expected cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan, whose party was eyeing to form government in Pakistan, to take bold decisions like he did while leading the neighbouring country’s cricket team.

Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) emerged as the single largest party in the polls but was short of the majority mark. He was currently leading the race to be the country’s next prime minister.

Azharuddin who faced Khan’s ferocious bowling when the two were playing international matches for their respective countries some three decades ago, also said the road ahead for the former Pakistani skipper was not a bed of roses and there were many issues that he had to set right.

“The decisions he took on the cricket field were very positive, very bold and individualistic decisions as a captain. He should do that only (once he becomes prime minister of his country),” the former India captain told.
