Former West Indies captain and Quetta Gladiators mentor Sir Viv Richards has shared his thoughts on the importance of cricket in uniting people, expressing hope that sporting ties between Pakistan and India will resume in the future.

In an exclusive interview with Cricket Pakistan, Richards was asked about the possibility of restoring bilateral cricket between the two neighbouring countries. He responded by highlighting the unifying power of sport.

“There are many issues in the world. Sports bring people closer,” said Richards.

“I hope that in the future, steps will be taken that help build a better world,” he added.

Richards’ remarks come at a time when India and Pakistan have not played a bilateral series in over a decade due to ongoing political tensions.
