Pakistan should replace UAE with England: Zaheer

Published February 6, 2017 Updated February 6, 2017 10:23am

imageISLAMABAD: Asian Bradman Zaheer Abbas on Monday advised the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) that England must be used as a neutral venue for Pakistan to host their home series.

Talking to media at the inauguration ceremony of the Women Cricket Academy at Government Viqar un Nisa College for Women, Rawalpindi, Zaheer said we have seen the national team's play in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

"The team's performance is not improving playing in the UAE especially of our bowlers," he said.

He suggested the PCB that instead of hosting our matches in the UAE we can go for England as a neutral venue. "We have got a lot of Pakistani crowd in England and playing in England would result in better performance of the team," he said.

He also urged PCB to take inputs from local former cricketers in order to bring improvement in the game of cricket.

Responding to a question regarding the PCB to host a round table conference next month, Zaheer said if the inputs given by the cricketers in the round table conference are implemented then cricket will surely improve.

Returning to the inauguration ceremony of the Women Cricket Academy, Zaheer said he was very happy to see the sports spirit in the Viqar un Nisa College. He also praised the Sport Board Punjab for supporting the youth especially women in the field of sports.

"Hopefully we will soon be seeing players making it from Viqar un Nisa College to the national women's team," he said.
