Zaheer fears for Pakistan cricket
Cricket great Zaheer Abbas fears his country will be left in the international sporting wilderness if India refuses to tour in January for security reasons.
“I think the Asian countries which are part of the International Cricket Council (ICC) should stand united in this hour of need and should continue playing the bilateral series,” Abbas said.

Boycott ICL and IPL, Latif tells Pakistan players

He also advised the Pakistan Cricket Board to stop pleading with the Indians to send their team to Pakistan.
“If they can’t come to Pakistan then we shouldn’t also go there for any cricketing activity. The security situation is the same in Pakistan and India,” he said.

Re: Pakistan India series - What are cricketers saying?

From this news -
I am at a loss, why in the world would Shoaib Malik say this?
He was also hopeful that England would return to India for the Tests which would not only “be a very good decision” but would also ensure that cricket continued, even during these troubled times.
I have absolutely no clue why Shoaib Malik would state that it would be a very good decision to have the tour continue. Indirectly, if he is looking to back BCCI’s decision of facilitating a test series in hope that they “may also” consider the Pakistan tour, then the statement does not make sense to me.
