TIL Desk Sports/ Former Pakistan Test captain Javed Miandad advised the Board of Control for Cricket in India and the Pakistan Cricket Board to work together for the resumption of bilateral series between the two countries. “It is high time the two boards got on one platform and tried to convince the governments to give clearance for resumption of bilateral cricket between India and Pakistan,” Miandad said.
The 124 Tests veteran said it is a shame that despite having good teams and exciting young talents, India and Pakistan are not compete against each other on regular basis. “What is the purpose of this World Test Championship or any other ICC backed league if India and Pakistan don’t play against each other,” he said.
Miandad said he has lost all hope in the International Cricket Council playing any role to get India and Pakistan to resume bilateral cricket, which has been suspended since 2008 except for a short limited over series held in 2012-13 in India as a goodwill gesture. “India and Pakistan series is much bigger than the Ashes and if we work out our issues the two countries can rule the cricket world,” he said.
