Former legendary Pakistan skipper and one of the batting greats, Javed Miandad has fallen on the receiving end of harsh and brutal trolls on social media from Indian cricket fans. It all happened after his recent comments on Pakistan’s visit to India for the ODI World Cup 2023 which is to be played later this year in the month of October and November.

“Pakistan has been to India in 2012 and even in 2016 now it is the turn of the Indians to come here. If I had to make a decision, I would never go to India to play any match, even the World Cup. We are always ready to play them (India) but they never respond in the same manner. Pakistan cricket is bigger…We are still producing quality players. So, I don’t think even if we don’t go to India, it will make any difference to us,” said Miandad during an interaction with the journalists.

This statement didn’t go down well with the Indian cricket fans and they didn’t take much time in coming up with brutal remarks for the former Pakistan batting great. Some of the fans also happened to remind Miandad about the miserable economic condition of Pakistan. The Indian cricket fans took to the micro-blogging site Twitter to troll Miandad for his statement.

Here’s how fans reacted:

Later on, the 1992 World Cup champion batter also mentioned how the political relations affecting the cricketing relations between India and Pakistan of late under the reign of the incumbent government in India since 2014.

“I always say one can’t choose its neighbors, so it is better to live by cooperating with each other. And I have always said cricket is a sport which brings people closer to each other and can remove misunderstandings and grievances between countries,” stated the 66-year-old.

“It was on the cards that they would again not send their team to Pakistan for the Asia Cup so it is time we also take a strong stand now,” he added further.
