Miandad Puts Spanner: Doesn’t Want Pakistan in India for ODI WC

New Delhi: Former Pakistani cricketer Javed Miandad has put a spanner in Pakistan’s plans to travel to India to play matches in ICC ODI World Cup. Miandad wants the BCCI to send its team to Pakistan first.

Pakistan are scheduled to play India in the World Cup clash at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on October 15.

But Miandad is dissatisfied with this decision. “Pakistan has been to India in 2012 and even in 2016; now it is the turn of the Indians to come here,” Miandad said.

“If I had to make a decision I would never go to India to play any match, even the World Cup. We are always ready to play them (India) but they never respond in the same manner. So I don’t think even if we don’t go to India it will make any difference to us,” he added.

India last visited Pakistan in 2008 for the 50-over Asia Cup.

Miandad is not satisfied with the fact that Pakistan were forced to host the upcoming Asia Cup in a hybrid model with India playing all their matches in Sri Lanka.
