The former captain also urged football governing body FIFA, to look into the matter of Pakistani footballers’ participation in FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

“Dear FIFA, Pakistani footballers are currently in a limbo in regards to their participation in the upcoming FIFA World Cup qualifiers,” tweeted Malik. “I request the council to look into the matter so our nation cheers for the National team of the fastest growing sports in Pakistan,” he added.

The FIFA Member Associations Committee will meet in Zurich, Switzerland, today to discuss the status of Pakistan football that has been facing legal disputes for a number of years.
