"When Any Country Tries To Boss...": Ramiz Raja On Asia Cup Controversy Between India And Pakistan
NDTV
After being sacked by PCB, former chairman Ramiz Raja has opened up on the Asia Cup controversy involving India and Pakistan.
Former chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) stood firm over the controversy involving hosting rights for the Asia Cup 2023. Ramiz maintained his stance that the tournament will not be moved out of Pakistan, despite India's decision to not travel to the country. But, just a few weeks into the controversy, Ramiz found himself out of the PCB, with Najam Sethi coming in to replace him. With his stint as the PCB's chairman over, Ramiz returned to his YouTube channel to issue a few clarifications on the 'Asia Cup controversy' that has been occupying a lot of his time for a while now.
Ramiz, in a video on YouTube, said that he has got great regards for Indian fans, having received a lot of love from them. But, it's when India outrightly refused to travel to Pakistan for the Asia Cup, without any conversation or meeting, that problems arose.
"I have got great regard for Indian fans, I have absolutely enjoyed my stint over the years in India. There is no doubt in this. Cricket breaks barriers, it helps transcend barriers. As a cricketer, as a commentator, I have gotten a lot of love," Raja said in the video, in response to a fan's question.
