The ICC World Test Champs is underway. But among the match’s powerhouses — India and Pakistan — aren’t likely to feature. In almost any series beneath the two-year-long tournament. And that has annoyed former Pakistan captain Waqar Younis. That stated the world championship at the red-ball format remains incomplete. If there’s no clash between both arch-rivals.
The 48-year-old former pacer, who’s currently training Pakistan at the bowling department. Stated during a meeting to YouTube station Cricket Baaz that even though. He knows the present situation is tight between the two neighbors. The International Cricket Council (ICC) must take action to make them perform against each other.
“The ICC must have intervened and completed something as to me using an Evaluation championship without Pakistan. And India Test matches make no sense,” the prior bowler, that has 789 global wickets, stated.
The bilateral cricket connections between India and Pakistan were ruined after the 26/11 strikes in Mumbai. And both countries have played with only one bilateral series since. It turned out to be a three-match ODI series in India.
At the points table of the World Test Championship, while India is on top with seven wins from nine games which have attracted them 360 points, Pakistan is in fifth place with two wins from five excursions (140 points).
Waqar Younis, who made his Test debut against India at precisely the same show where Sachin Tendulkar began his international career, rued that he’s played just four Tests against India in his career spanning between 1989 and 2003.
“It has been like this is the reason why producing my test debut against India is something that I remember,” Younis said.
Also, he commended the vast improvements India has left in their fast-bowling attack on the years, stating the likes of Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, and Ishant Sharma have obtained India towards the very best.
“Should you visit India has worked hard in this area, and they’re currently generating bowlers frequently who bowl at the 140 plus stove before it wasn’t like that. However, things have shifted. That’s the reason why India is doing this well in Evaluation and other formats today,” he explained.
