Lahore: Veteran Pakistan cricketer Javed Miandad on Friday expressed that India is not a safe country to play cricket and International Cricket Council should boycott the national. The former Pakistan cricketer gave this opinion in the backdrop of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) protests.
"People should take note of what is going on in India. I urge the ICC to boycott them," Miandad said in the video uploaded on the website.
"Not Pakistan but India is not a safe country for any tourist or anybody (sic). As human beings, we sportspersons should also stand up and condemn them.
"The entire world is watching and talking about what is going on there. I am speaking on behalf of Pakistan that all sporting ties must be suspended with India. All countries should take action against them," he said.
Earlier, Ehsan Mani had said, "India is a far greater security risk than Pakistan".
"We have proved that Pakistan is safe, if someone isn't coming then they should prove that it's unsafe. At this time, India is a far greater security risk than Pakistan," Mani said.
Pakistan defeated Sri Lanka by 263 runs in the Karachi Test, thus winning what was an emotional two-match Test series 1-0. The Test series marked the return of Test cricket to Pakistan after 10 years. Sri Lanka were the last team to play Tests there, in 2009, when their tour was cut short by a terrorist attack on the team bus.
