"Life and death are in the hands of the Almighty” - Javed Miandad
Regarding that, now, the former Pakistan great, Javed Miandad came up with a controversial comment in a podcast hosted by Nadir Ali. He said: “If you are destined to die, you will die. Life and death are in the hands of the Almighty”. This statement came when he was asked about India’s refusal to visit Pakistan for the Asia Cup. However, it was not the first time that Miandad came out with a controversial remark on the Asia Cup debate.
Earlier, during an interaction, Miandad said: “India can go to hell if they don’t want to come to Pakistan to play cricket. I’ve always backed Pakistan. And you know that I don’t leave spare India whenever an issue arises. But the thing is we need to look at our part. And we should fight for it.” Fans were not happy with such reckless comments from the former cricketer and later, he came up with a clarification.
In a video on his official Twitter account, Javed Miandad said: "Do you know what hell means? If you don't want to play just don't. We don't have a problem. Ask the Indian cricketers. They'll also say that there should be cricket between these two teams in their respective countries. It'll benefit both nations.If they think that their (India) not coming to Pakistan makes any difference, let me tell you that it doesn't. That's what I meant. We are independent. Pakistan has produced world-class cricketers as well as hockey players. Everywhere around the world, neighbouring countries are playing with each other”.
Here is how fans have slammed Miandad:
