Former star of Pakistan cricket team Basit Ali believes that India and Pakistan should play bilateral series of hockey, javelin or kabaddi if BCCI and PCB fail to agree on a cricket series. India and Pakistan have not played a bilateral cricket for more than a decade due to political tensions.
During an interaction on YouTube, Basit said that the whole world is in front of the television when Neeraj and Arshad compete in javelin.
Basit said, “Arshad Nadeem beat Neeraj Chopra at the Paris Olympics; otherwise, it was a certain gold medal for India. The Indian cricket team has made it clear that they won’t travel to Pakistan, so just conduct a bilateral series of hockey, javelin, or kabaddi between India and Pakistan in some other country, and you will know whether the India-Australia series is bigger or the India-Pakistan match is bigger.”
“When Neeraj and Arshad compete in javelin, the whole world will be in front of the television, and the stadium will be full,” the former Pakistan cricketer added.
