Indian all-rounder Yusuf Pathan has said that the world wants to see Pakistan-India cricket matches. Still, the decision about the bilateral matches depends on permission from the governments of both countries.

According to details, talking to the website Cricket Pakistan in Dubai, Yusuf Pathan said that the world wants to see the matches between Pakistan and India, as cricketers also get an opportunity to learn from them, and players from neighboring countries play against each other. Fans also love to watch the players in action.

"It is up to the governments of the two countries when there is mutual cricket," said Yusuf.

He added that the game will also get a boost; the young cricketers here will get a great opportunity to improve their game while sharing the dressing room with the international players.

"Indian players bear pressure better; our bench strength is very strong, and every player. There is also a good alternative," he said.

When asked about Pakistan players not being a part of the ongoing IlT20 in the UAE, Yusuf Pathan said:

"If Pakistan cricketers had participated in the ILT20, everyone could have enjoyed the game more. The game will also get a boost; the young cricketers here will get a great opportunity to improve their game while sharing the dressing room with the international players."

Yusuf Pathan also stated that Pakistan has had a lot of good cricketers. Still, 2 or 3 of the best players, and the team is playing good cricket, but there is a lot of difference between the top players and the bench, India's bench strength is also very good, and there is a good substitute for every player.
