Country Decade Series
What are your thoughts on former Pakistan bowling legend Wasim Akram’s message ?
To quote him:
“Cricket is not on anyone’s mind at the moment, but after three to four days both the countries must take a positive step. I suggest Pakistan and India play a Test in Mumbai so to give a clear message that we will not give in,” Wasim told AFP.
“India is like a second home for me, so whatever has happened there has hurt everyone in Pakistan including me,” said Wasim, who holds the world record of most one-day wickets with 502.
“But if this hits our relations and cricket, it would mean that we have given in to terrorists.”
He cited his own experiences when captaining Pakistan on a tour of India in 1999 despite threats from Hindu fundamentalists, playing the first cricket series between the two countries after a decade-long deadlock due to political tension.

Thanks
Great statements Marco and Lancer, you guys are wise ! Good night !
Wasim Akram has some good points he loves Pakistan and India, and He wants India and Pakistan to play cricket after the Terrorist attacks happen here. I am an Indian and i don’t have any problem with Muslims or People who lives in Pakistan. Those terrorists who attacked Mumbai were Pakistani’s and i don’t blame those Pakistani’s who lives in Pakistan for what happen. I think India and Pakistan both need to work together in destroying terrorism. India and Pakistan are both great cricket teams and they should never stop playing cricket because of this reason.
If Security in Pakistan safe for Indian team then India should continue to play cricket. But after seeing this huge tragedy it should be the players who take the decision about it.
