Lahore: Prime Minister Imran Khan also found the Pak-India series difficult. The Prime Minister and Chief Patron of the PCB, Imran Khan, explained the reasons behind the impossibility of a bilateral series between Pakistan and India in the current political climate.
In a documentary report on a British channel, the former captain said, “I first visited India in 1979. In those days, the two countries were trying to get closer to each other. I also saw a wonderful atmosphere in the stadiums. The second time was in 1987.” Tensions were high at the time, I saw an atmosphere in some stadiums that I had never experienced in my life, spectators were showering various things on the field, the atmosphere looked very bad, I asked the fielders near the boundary to wear helmets.
He said that the Indian team came to Pakistan in 2005 and won the series, the guest cricketers were well received, the competitions were held in a pleasant atmosphere, the current government in India, I can imagine what a terrible atmosphere will be in the cricket grounds.
To a question, Imran Khan said, “I don’t enjoy T20 cricket much, but when I see batsmen playing brand new strokes, I wonder why I couldn’t invent it. I like to watch high quality Test cricket.” But there is not much time for that, if I get a chance, sometimes I watch the last 5 overs in the decisive moments of a match.
