Karachi, July 9: The former chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board, Khalid Mahmood has hit out at the government’s decision to form a high-level committee to decide on the national cricket team’s participation in the 2023 ODI World Cup in India.
Mahmood said it made no sense to form this committee.
“The interesting thing is that no representative of the main stakeholder, the Pakistan Cricket Board is on the committee,” Mahmood said in an interview.
He cautioned that this was not the time to link Pakistan’s participation in the World Cup to the Asia Cup being held in Pakistan.
Mahmood said by forming this committee of ministers, the government had itself contradicted its policy of not mixing politics with sports.
He said the sensible thing to do now was to ensure the Pakistan team took part in the mega event or it could end up facing sanctions and also relations with other boards would be soured. (PTI)
