LAHORE: World fastest bowler Shoaib Akhtar said that Pakistan and India series should be postponed until the two countries reach a peaceful accord in politics.
Akhtar, who was talking during the promotion of Sprite Cricket Stars tournament in Dubai on Thursday, said the failure of the aforementioned talks was enough to defer the series to a later date.
Everybody knows to keep politics separate from sport, said Akhtar
But unfortunately there’s a lot of unrest on the borders and it’s not right to play such a Test between the two countries at this time.
He added that people loved to see the two Asian giants take on each other.
“They are still two of the best teams in the world and neither can avoid each other if you want to keep cricket interesting. You cannot ignore that the rarest of talent comes out of these countries and that people love to see them play against each other,” pacer said.
The political climate between the two countries has been deteriorating after the National Security Adviser level meeting failed to produce substantial results.
