Former Pakistan skipper Amir Sohail has slammed Indian policy of playing with Pakistani only in ICC tournaments.

In an interview to Aaj Tak, the Pakistani left hander said if Board of Control for Cricket India (BCCI) doesn’t want to play cricket with Pakistan then it should also be applied on ICC tournaments.

“When you take such hard stance that you will not play bilateral series with Pakistan, will not keep ties with neighboring country, but when it comes to matches in World Cup or Champions Trophy, why sudden change of stance?” he asked.

“Keep one stance either you want to play or not because there is no middle way in it,” he added.

Meanwhile, Indian cricketer Harbajhan Singh also endorsed Sohail’s comments stating in case of any hostility between two countries only cricket got affected.

“If we want to boycott cricket with Pakistan then there should not be any business ties, no other sport should be played, there must be complete shut down,” he said.

Former Indian captain Azha-ur-din also agreed with Sohail saying he has been asking for same thing.

“Why only cricket is being targeted?” he asked.
