Akram’s Perspective: “Indian squad is very balanced. However, it won’t be easy for India as other teams are equally good.”
Akram also reminded fans that, despite Pakistan’s current top ranking, the last Asia Cup was won by Sri Lanka, and India didn’t make it to the finals. He acknowledged the significance of the India-Pakistan match but highlighted the potential of teams like Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and even Afghanistan.
Separating Politics from Sports
In response to the Asia Cup being relocated from Pakistan due to political objections, Akram advocated for the separation of politics and sports. He emphasized the importance of people-to-people connections between Indians and Pakistanis, highlighting the mutual affection they share.
