New Delhi. Zaheer Abbas, who received the title of Asian Bradman, says that the plight of cricket in Pakistan is more due to T20 cricket and the many paragraphs included in it. He said that nowadays a lot of T20 cricket is being played in Pakistan. Because of this the players have forgotten the essence of Test cricket. Abbas said that so much money has come into cricket that players these days are busy only in earning money and their attention has completely diverted from the game.

Zaheer Abbas said during the Predicta Conclave in Ajman (UAE), ‘The misfortune of Pakistan cricket is that the people running it do not know cricket. We took Pakistan cricket to great heights. The world was a fan of Pakistan cricket, but today the situation has changed. The people who are running cricket today are only concerned about themselves and are not concerned about cricket or the players.

India will play its first match in the Women’s T20 World Cup today, know why it is a contender for the title.

Zaheer Abbas also expressed his views on the Indian team’s tour to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy to be held in Pakistan next year. He said that the Indian team should tour Pakistan. This will promote cricket in the Indian subcontinent, especially in Pakistan. He said, ‘We want the best for cricket. If India comes and plays in Pakistan, it will be very good for cricket. It will be a positive thing for the Indian team to come and play in Pakistan and this will take cricket forward in Pakistan.

Gary Sobers the world’s greatest cricketer
Zaheer Abbas considers West Indies’ Gary Sobers as the greatest cricketer in the world. He said, ‘When I used to play cricket, my dream was to play with players like Gary Sobers. When I was selected in the World XI in 1971-72, Gary was my captain. Knowing this made me so happy that it was difficult for me to express it. He is a great cricketer.
