Inzamam bats for India on security

“I believe there are no security concerns. The players also enjoy playing in India. In our 2005 tour here, people treated us so nicely. No one took money when we shopped or ate out,” Inzamam said at Aaj Tak Cricket Salaam conclave. 

“We can’t stop others from making statements,” he said when asked about Imran Khan’s suggestions that Pakistan must not play in Dharamshala in the wake of recent developments Both Inzamam and Sourav Ganguly, who was also part of the show, felt that India and Pakistan must play against each other regularly. “It’s unfair if the two countries do not play cricket. It’s bigger than Ashes. There is more following,” Inzamam said. 

Ganguly also recalled the good time he spent in the 2004 tour of Pakistan. “That was one of the best tours. The hospitality was amazing. We want more tours like that,” Ganguly said. Inzamam said Pakistan team was struggling because no international team was playing in their country and Pakistani players were not playing in IPL. 

“We need cricket in Pakistan and one step is taken with the PSL. Hopefully things will improve very soon.” Inzamam said Shahid Afridi and Mohammed Amir would be key players for Pakistan in the World T20.
