Pakistan pacer Mohammad Irfan in a recent interview, weighed in on the India-Pakistan cotroversy, suggesting that players should be keep away from politics.
Mohammad Irfan said that both India and Pakistan should visit each other for matches and tournaments, adding that people should not be part of speculations and pay heed to rumours.
“I have said it before too. Players should be kept away from politics. Pakistan should go to India and India should come to Pakistan to play. It increases love between people from both countries. Cricket should be separate from politics. Don’t go with statements that Pakistan won’t come to India, let the Board decide it,” said the left-arm pacer, who is playing in the T10 league for Northern Warriors.
He also said that the current Pakistani batting setup is in safe hands with the likes of Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan and Iftikhar Ahmed.
“Pakistan cricket had a phase that didn’t see them produce good batters but Babar Azam, Rizwan and Iftikhar have filled that gap,” Mohammad Irfan said.
