Pakistan PM Imran Khan says ‘some Indian’s fake message led to England and NZ pull-out’

Imran Khan said that no one would ‘dare do that to India’ due to the power and financial resources of the Board of Control for Cricket in India. 

Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan hit out at the England and New Zealand cricket board for pulling out of cricket tour of his country due to some ‘fake message by an Indian’. New Zealand cricket team in September abandoned its tour of Pakistan following their government’s security alert in September. And a few days later on September 20, England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) announced that they have withdrawn from the Pakistan tour in October.

“I think England let themselves down, I expected more out of England. Even New Zealand let themselves down for something that we know was a fake news initiative by some Indian sitting in Singapore,” Imran Khan was quoted as saying in an interview to Middle East Eye on Monday (October 11).

Imran Khan said that no one would ‘dare do that to India’ due to the power and financial resources of the Board of Control for Cricket in India. “No one would dare do that to India due to the power and financial resources of the Indian cricket board,” according to Dawn.
