“Saath Ghoomna Theek Hai, by match Nahi?”: Ex-Pakistan after India vs Pakistan called in WCL | Cricket news
New Delhi: “Public Ke Saamne Yeh Dikhate Ho Ki Hum Nahi Khelenge, Aur Saath Mein Ghumoge and Shopping Karoe, Yeh Unjust Hai [You show the public that you won’t play each other, but behind the scenes you travel together and go shopping — that’s unfair]”The former Pakistani stimulator Abdur Rauf Khan said that the Champions of the Champions of India against the Pakistani champions were canceled on Sunday at the World Legends Championship (WCL) in Birmingham.The match was put back after the fury of social networks and finally the players withdrew for the competition. Those on social networks have questioned players’ hypocrisy for changing melody less than two months after cross -border tensions between India and Pakistan after the Pahalgam terrorist attack and Operation Sindoor. Rauf did not retain his criticisms of Indian players like Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh, Shikhar Dhawan, questioning their public position against their outdoor camaraderie.
“They hang out together, eat together, party together – then when it comes to playing a match, why do they represent a different image in front of the public?” Asked RAUF.“It is not only the Pakistani players – even the Indian players feel it. We played together, shared changing rooms, eaten together, shopping on tours, staying in the hotel rooms, we are friends out of the field. And then representing a ditch as hard to the public – as” we will not play them ” – who creates unnecessary media”, said Rauf.“Behind the scenes, the reality is very different. Fans, who come with so much excitement and emotion, are disappointed. It is not a good look for cricket. We owe better to the game and his fans,” he added.The sports relations of India-Pakistan had struck a roadblock due to the fallout from the April attack in Pahalgam.Shikhar Dhawan was the first to make his position public. He has published a screenshot on X declaring: “It is a question of officially reiterating that Mr. Shikhar Dhawan will not participate in any match against the Pakistani team in the next WCL league … Given our current geopolitical situation and our dominant tensions between India and Pakistan, Mr. Dhawan and his team took this position after consideration duly … “RAUF, who represented Pakistan in 3 tests, 4 ODI and 1 T20i, called on politics.“My coherent point of view was – keeping the policy and the cricket separated. A year or two of tension can stop cricket, but once relationships are normalizing, the recovery matches anyway. So why stop in the first place? … So yes, the two governments should sit and sign an agreement that cricket and sports will continue whatever the external conditions. Political tensions can and come, but sports should not suffer, “he said.“You cannot permanently close this. Tensions can last a year or two, but ultimately countries reconnect. So why stop sports in the first place? … This is why I think there should be a clear framework or agreement guaranteeing continuity. Political problems will persist due to geographic realities – but let sport breathe. Let yourself be flourished, “he added.“The problems between India and Pakistan have been for a long time. Sometimes they degenerate, sometimes relationships are improving. When relationships are good, cricket resumes. When tensions increase, everything is closed. Unfortunately, fans are those who suffer the most … I think there should be an official agreement which, independently of political tensions, ICC derogation events or bilateral conclusion should continue interruption, “
