imageFormer captain and fast bowler Wasim Akram has said that he is in favour of resuming bilateral cricket ties with India.

According to local media reports former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly, who had said that India should not play cricket with Pakistan until the situation improves between the two countries, Akram said he thought differently.

“I believe that sports and politics should be kept apart and no matter what happens on the political fronts between India and Pakistan, cricket should be played," he said.

According to local media reports, Akram pointed out that when he captained Pakistan to the full tour of India in 1999 the relations between the two countries were very tense. "It was a tour where there was a lot of security around us and we mostly stayed inside the hotels. But we still continued playing cricket and it was a successful tour. I believe that bilateral Indo-Pak cricket ties must not stop," he added.

Akram also feels that it is necessary to have normal sporting ties between the two nations as people wants to see both nations play cricket against each other.
