Pakistani cricket legends pitch for Indo-Pak series | Pakistani cricket legends have welcomed the likely resumption of Indo-Pak bilateral series,
saying that the fans would enjoy the archrivals clash on the field. The Pakistan
Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Zaka Ashraf after a meeting with his Indian counterpart
had announced that the bilateral cricket series between both the countries would
resume soon. Former skipper Zaheer Abbas said Pakistan-India bilateral series
is a most-wanted event. "It was the ideal time for the chairman to ask BCCI to
have a bilateral series at any neutral venue or even in Pakistan or India ," he
said. Zaheer said a Pak-India series is the dire need of the hour as it has been
ages since the two have meet each-other in a series except in the World Cup semi-
final match and the Asia Cup. "The cricket lovers all around the world want to
see Pak-India meet in the field," The Nation quoted him, as saying. Zaheer believes
that the series would provide a big breakthrough in improving relations between
the two countries that were strained after the 2008 Mumbai attacks. The India
team was due to tour Pakistan in early 2009 but the visit was cancelled. Former
pacer Sarfraz Nawaz said the proposed series would boost the passion in the players
who are dying to meet each other on the field. "If the series happens it would
make all the people of both the countries get them locked in their houses to watch
it. This series is bigger than any other series in the world of cricket, even
the Ashes," he said.
