IND vs PAK: Kamran Akmal Makes Big Statement Pakistan Should Not Play Against India In ICC T20 World Cup 2022

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary and the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) president recently made a statement regarding Asia Cup 2023, which is making headlines. Jay Shah said that the Indian team will not tour Pakistan for the 2023 Asia Cup.

This announcement has met with serious criticism from ex-cricketers. Many former Pakistani cricketers are expressing their opinion on this statement, and some have gone as far as boycotting Sunday’s T20 World Cup match in Melbourne.

Former Pakistan wicketkeeper-batsman Kamran Kamal has gone a step further and asked for a complete boycott against India, including the upcoming T20 World Cup clash between Pakistan and India on Sunday.

Kamran Akmal: Asia Cup In Pakistan, If Not Pakistan Should Not Play Against India At Any Level

Speaking on ARY News’ show ‘Har Lamha Purjosh’, Kamran Akmal said, “I believe Jay Shah’s statement was unexpected, and since he attended the Pakistan-India game during this year’s Asia Cup, he should reserve politics for his opposition and avoid dragging it into sports.”

“Asia Cup should only be hosted in Pakistan and if that does not happen then Pakistan should not play against India at any level, be it ICC events’ matches, Asia Cup matches, or even their match on October 23,” he added.

The Pakistan Cricket Board has issued a statement following the comments of Asian Cricket Council President Mr Jay Shah and requested an emergency meeting of the Asian Cricket Board.

Pakistan holds the hosting rights for the 2023 Asia Cup and 2025 Champions Trophy. With both tournaments to be held in Pakistan, it will be interesting to see if the relationship between the two boards remains cordial.

India will take on arch-rivals Pakistan in their opening encounter of the ICC T20 World Cup at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Melbourne, on Sunday, October 23. The Babar Azam-led team is evenly matched against the Rohit Sharma-led team.
