Moin Khan Calls for ICC to Keep Cricket Free From Politics
The Importance of Politics-Free Cricket
Moin Khan, a former captain of Pakistan, has requested renowned Indian cricketers like Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid to encourage the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to maintain the integrity of the game by avoiding political interference. In light of the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy in February-March 2025, Khan believes that a return to bilateral series between India and Pakistan would greatly benefit the sport overall.
Historical Context of India-Pakistan Cricket
- India has not engaged with Pakistan in bilateral series since 2013.
- The 2023 Asia Cup was hosted in a hybrid format with India playing matches in Sri Lanka.
- Cricketing legends can significantly influence the return of India-Pakistan series.
Khan stated, “Cricket should not be obstructed by political issues. Fans want to see India and Pakistan play, which would benefit cricket as a whole.
