In response to a question, Mickey Arthur mentioned that Pakistan-Bharat (Pakistan-India) matches cannot be discussed in political terms. Players from both sides respect each other, and Indian fans are warmly welcoming Pakistani players. He noted how Indian fans are welcoming Babar, Rizwan, and Shaheen with open arms.
