KARACHI: Former India captain Mohammad Azharuddin believes if Indian and Pakistan cricket boards continue to hold talks there will be a breakthrough in the proposed bilateral series.
“I am hopeful that eventually Pakistan and India cricket matches will be revived. It could happen soon it could take some time. But it will happen,” Azharuddin told Geo News channel.
The 52-year-old, who has played 99 tests and 334 one-day internationals, said that it was a fact that cricket relations between the two countries were subject to clearance from the Governments.
“I think the best thing is that these two boards should continue to hold talks on regular basis. When you discuss things than eventually you have a breakthrough,” he said.
The former stylish batsman ruled out speculations that India didn’t want to play Pakistan.
“I don’t think that is true but the Indian cricket board has to get clearance before playing Pakistan. Why wouldn’t they want to play Pakistan. A Indo-Pak series is always well received and is a boost for both boards and teams.”
Azharuddin said at the moment the situation might appear bleak as far as Indo-Pak cricket relations are concerned. (AGENCIES)
