Sporting contact to improve relations b/w Pakistan, India: Mani

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman, Ehsan Mani says sporting contact would improve relations between Pakistan and India.

In an interview, Mani said, in a climate of political tension between the two countries, India have not played a bilateral match against Pakistan in any format since January 2013.

He said when we play cricket, especially in our countries, it helps in increasing people-to-people contact.

Mani said there is no better way to improve the relations between countries than having sporting and cultural contacts.

He said Indian public obviously love to see India and Pakistan playing, and so does the Pakistan public.

The chairman PCB said if India wants to play they tell us, if they don't want to play that is fine, but we are not going to go after them.
