Former cricketer Mudassir Nazar lashed out at the Indian Cricket Board, saying that enough is enough and that we should now boycott playing against India, taking our decisions seriously. The decision taken by the PCB in its letter to the Asian Cricket Council is very appropriate; the PCB should now stick to it.

Mudassir Nazar, named Golden Arm for his outstanding all-rounder performance, told Cricket Pakistan, "Pakistan could not get support from other boards on issues with India because the purpose of other boards is to fill their own pockets."

The two countries collaborated on ACC projects when Dalmia was associated with the Indian Cricket Board and the ACC. This is no longer the case; only India's influence can be seen on the Asian Cricket Council. Mudassir Nazar understands that we have long been listening to India's refusal to come and play in Pakistan for a long time.

"We must now make our own decisions without regard for financial blackmail. I believe we should now refuse to play India at any level." Mudassar sad.

Mudassar Nazar, the former national team coach who represented Pakistan in 76 Tests and 122 ODIs, expressed his disappointment at the statement made by the Secretary of the Indian Cricket Board, Jay Shah, regarding the Asia Cup.

"Looking at what happened with Ganguly in the recent Indian board elections, it is clear that the BJP is interfering in India's and the Asian Cricket Council's affairs. Regarding the Asia Cup, ACC President J Shah appears to be constantly overstepping. This attitude may turn out to be harmful to the ACC."

Reminder for all is that the BCCI secretary Jay Shah stated that Indian cricket team will not participate in the Asia Cup 2023 which will be hosted in Pakistan.
