Pakistan legend Javed Miandad has once again insisted on India and Pakistan to play bilateral series regularly, saying that when both teams could face each other in world tournaments then why not in a regular series.

In an interview, the legendary batsman questioned the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) that if both countries can play with each other in the international tournaments, then why not in a bilateral series.

Miandad, who played for Pakistan in Tests and One-Day Internationals between 1975 and 1996, said that the more we play, the faster it will end hatred between both countries and relations would become smoother.

He stressed that politicians should stop politicising the matter. Miandad rated India-Pakistan series even bigger than the Ashes. “We [India and Pakistan] can rule the world of cricket if we work and play together.”
