The newly elected ICC President Zaheer Abbas said that he will strive to play an important role in reviving India-Pakistan bilateral ties with his new position in cricketing world.
According to local media reports, Abbas said, "I want to play a role in helping revive Indo-Pak cricket matches because the people of both countries want these matches to take place and having regular bilateral ties is also necessary for the sport's global image”.
“I know it is not an easy task because Indo-Pak cricket ties are ruled by political relations between the two countries. But I want to do something in this direction because if we have regular bilateral ties it is good for players and people of both countries,” he added.
Abbas, who played a number of India Pakistan matches in the past, holds the tie very close to his heart. “Having India and Pakistan matches is something close to my heart and I will do my best to make it happen,” he said.
Cricketing relations between the two nations have been strained due to the political situations in the two nations. Newly elected ICC President Zaheer Abbas may be highly committed in improving the relations between the two countries.
