Javed Miadad demanded action against India

The India-Pakistan cold war over the venue of the upcoming Asia Cup has been going on for a long time. It has been said that India will not play in Pakistan if the venue of the Asia Cup is in Pakistan. On the other hand, Pakistan also did not leave the argument. The Pakistan Cricket Board also warned that if India did not play in Pakistan, Pakistan would not be able to play the World Cup in India. Pakistan attacked the International Cricket Council in the dispute over the venue of the Asia Cup. Meanwhile, Pakistan’s legendary cricketer Javed Miandad demanded the ICC to take action against India.

Last year, the war of words was mainly started by the secretary of the Indian Cricket Board, Jai Shah. He said “If the venue of the Asia Cup is in Pakistan, India will not play there. This matter is being looked at by the Indian government. Considering the situation, the venue of the Asia Cup should be at a neutral place”. Jai Shah’s comment went viral. The head of Pakistan Board Ramiz Raja also threatened India by saying “We want India to come to Pakistan to play the Asia Cup. If they do not come to Pakistan to play the Asia Cup then Pakistan will also boycott the 2023 World Cup held in India. We will not go there”.

Pakistan’s legendary cricketer Javed Miadad has directly demanded action against India from the highest governing body of cricket, ICC. Recently, he expressed extreme anger in a meeting of the Asian Cricket Council. Javed Miandad said, “Why should India not come to Pakistan to play the Asia Cup? It is the responsibility of the ICC to bring India to Pakistan to play the Asia Cup. And they cannot abdicate themselves from this responsibility.”

The meeting of the Asian Cricket Council said that the venue of the Asia Cup will be moved elsewhere. The name will be announced next March. But Javed Miandad is stuck on this issue. He also said, “If India doesn’t come to play in Pakistan, it won’t come. It doesn’t matter to us. Let them go to hell, what do we care about! I have always supported Pakistan, still do. Whenever Pakistan is in trouble with India, I never support India.” Not giving up. Not saying yet. We should look at ourselves. We should do what seems right to us and fight for it. We should not back down for India.”

Meanwhile, according to Indian media sources, if Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma do not play the Asia Cup, no sponsors will come, arguing that the Indian Cricket Board will play cricket in a different venue instead of Pakistan. That is why it has been decided to change the venue of the Asian Cricket Council meeting. If the venue of the Asia Cup is not in Pakistan, there is a possibility that it will be in the UAE. However, the final decision will be taken in March.
