Former cricketers Wasim Akram and Moin Khan expressed their desire for the restoration of bilateral cricket ties between India and Pakistan. The last time the arch-rivals played in a bilateral series was back in 2012–13. Since then, the Pakistan team has visited India twice. In 2016, the Men in Green played in India during the 2016 T20I World Cup, and seven years later, they came back to play on Indian soil for the ODI World Cup.
Moin talked about the reception the Pakistan team got in each match and said on A Sports, ‘Whenever Pakistan played, the stadium was full, which clearly showed they wanted a bilateral series.’ Akram agreed with Moin’s statement and talked about how cricket can bring both countries together.
‘I am all for it. India and Pakistan cricket will be a financial advantage for the board and the players. I am talking about money because you can invest it at the grassroots level. I can’t talk about politics; cricket is one sport that can bring countries together,’ Akram added.
Pakistan’s campaign ended as they finished in the fifth spot, missing out on the semi-final.
