ISLAMABAD – Former Pakistan Test captain Javed Miandad has advised theBoard of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and Pakistan Cricket Board(PCB) to work together for the resumption of bilateral series between thetwo neighbouring countries.
“It is high time the two boards got on one platform and tried to convincethe governments to give clearance for resumption of bilateral cricketbetween India and Pakistan,” Miandad said in an interview.
The 124 Tests veteran said it was a shame that despite having good teamsand exciting young talents, India and Pakistan are not competing againsteach other on regular basis.
“What is the purpose of this World Test Championship or any other ICCbacked league if India and Pakistan don’t play against each other,” he said.
Miandad said he had lost all hope in the ICC in playing any role to getIndia and Pakistan to resume bilateral cricket, which has been suspendedsince 2008 except for a short limited over series held in 2012-13 in Indiaas a goodwill gesture.
