Former Pakistan captain Javed Miandad made a divisive statement against the Indian cricket squad in relation to the Asia Cup. Team India will not travel to Pakistan for the 2023 Asia Cup, according to BCCI secretary Jay Shah. Following that, top officials from the Pakistan Cricket Board stated that such a decision could have an impact on Pakistan’s choice to travel to India for the ODI World Cup later this year. Miandad, on the other hand, took it to the next level.
“Main to pehle bhi kehta tha, nahi aate to bhaad mein jaayein, hamein koi fark nahi padta, hamein hamari cricket mil rahi hai. Ye ICC ka kaam hai, ye cheez agar ICC control nahi kar skti, to fir governing body ka koi kaam nahi hai(I have always been saying, if India don’t to come, we don’t care. We are getting our cricket. It’s ICC’s job to control such things, else there’s no point of having a governing body),” he said in a video on YouTube.
“ICC should have one rule for every country. If such teams don’t come, no matter how strong they are, you should remove them,” Miandad added.

In his perspective, Miandad even feels that India is unwilling to come because they are terrified of the public’s harsh behaviour if they lose in Pakistan.
“Aa ke khelo, khelte kyun nahi hai. Bhagte hain, unki museebat ho jaati hai bhagte hai (They should play, why aren’t they playing? They are afraid of consequences),” he asserted.
