India Vs Pakistan: ‘Should play with each other’: Inzamam-Ul-Haq advocates for India-Pakistan cricket matches | Cricket News
Inzamam, known for his illustrious cricketing career and insights, particularly lauded the performance of Abdullah Shafique and Mohammed Rizwan, who played pivotal roles in Pakistan’s historic win.
During an interview with ANI, he stated, “Pakistan team is playing well, and credit should go to the team, especially Abdullah Shafique and Rizwan; they played well. If the team continues this performance, the result will be great. It should happen (India-Pakistan matches), and both teams should play with each other. This is a good thing.”
His call for India and Pakistan to resume bilateral cricket matches reflects the sentiment of countless cricket enthusiasts who eagerly await the revival of one of the most storied rivalries in the sport. The last time India played in Pakistan was in 2008 during the Asia Cup, and since then, bilateral series have been on hold. The two nations have met on neutral grounds in various tournaments, but a full-fledged bilateral series is yet to be organised.
