PCB Should Not Send Pakistan Cricket Team to India in Future - Moin Khan SUGGESTS
Amid all the speculations over will the India cricket team travel to Pakistan for the 2025 CT or not, former Pakistan cricketer Moin Khan has made a suggestion.
Amid all the speculations over will the India cricket team travel to Pakistan for the 2025 CT or not, former Pakistan cricketer Moin Khan has made a suggestion. The former Pakistan captain has asked the Pakistan Cricket Board not to send the national team to India for any tournament. The Pakistan cricket team was in India for the 50-over World Cup in November 2023. First, Moin suggests the Indian former cricketers to convince the Indian cricket board to send their team across the border, but if that does not happen - PCB should take a strong stance.
"In my view, Indian cricket legends should advise the BCCI to keep sports separate from politics. Fans worldwide want India and Pakistan to play, benefiting not just Pakistan but the sport as a whole. India must honor ICC commitments, and if they don't, Pakistan should also consider taking a stand by not participating in future tournaments in India," Moin said on CricketPakistan.pk.
Claiming that he does not see anybody more able to lead the side in the white-ball format, Moin also suggested that Shaheen Afridi should be leading the side in the shortest format.
‘Shaheen Has The Ability to Lead The Side’
"Shaheen Afridi has the ability to lead the team and is highly liked by the players. He is an excellent choice for captaincy in T20s. In white-ball cricket, I don't see anyone else suitable for the role. Removing him from the captaincy was unjust. He is one of the best T20 players, and I've noticed his performance has slightly declined since he was removed from the captaincy," he told CricketPakistan.pk.
And the other thing he suggested was if the side is looking for a captain for all formats then Mohammed Rizwan is the person.
‘No Doubt About Rizwan’s Abilities'
"A single captain can be appointed for all formats of cricket, but it's crucial for any player to perform across all formats to achieve this. Whoever becomes captain should have the responsibility for a long term. There is no doubt about Mohammad Rizwan's abilities; any criticism against him might be due to his age," he added.
