Asia Cup 2023 has become a trending topic again in recent times as the Asian Cricket Council's (ACC) emergency meeting happened on 4 February in Bahrain. Before the 20-20 World Cup 2022, Jay Shah said that India will not visit Pakistan for the Asia Cup and that the tournament will take place in a different place. Even, now after the meeting reports came out that the tournament might get shifted to UAE from Pakistan.
Now, regarding that former Pakistan cricketer, Javed Miandad slammed India for their approach in a recent public event. He 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.” He also added that India have the fear of losing in Pakistan against the Men in Green.
Both Venkatesh Prasad and Javed Miandad have been great players for their respective countries
That is why they are not willing to come to their country. Miandad said: “We don’t care because we are getting to host our cricket. This is Governing Body of Cricket’s job. If Governing Body of cricket can’t control this there’s no use for the governing body. They need to implement similar rules for every team. If teams like these don’t come, they should be debarred. India hoga, apne liye hoga. Hmare liye nahi hai. Come and play.”
“Why don’t they? They run. For them, it becomes trouble if they come here and lose to us. The public there can’t stomach it. It’s always been the case. During our time, they used to not play because of the same reason. Riots and fighting take place there. The crowd there is very nasty. You would’ve seen whenever India loses, to anyone, the crowd there burns down houses. When we used to play, they had faced such troubles,” Miandad added.
The former Pakistan cricketer also added that the Governing Body of Cricket need to take action if any country, even it is India behave like this. Now, in response to that, the former India Cricketer, Venkatesh Prasad took a dig and tweeted: “But they are refusing to go to hell.” It meant that the former India pacer termed Pakistan as ‘Hell’ only. Fans went crazy after seeing such a tweet from the former cricketer and lauded him for his reaction.
