Former Pakistan skipper Javed Miandad has crucial advice for the Cricket Boards of India and Pakistan that they should work something out in order to resume the bilateral series between the two neighboring countries.

In one of the recent interview, Miandad said, “It is high time the two boards got on one platform and tried to convince the governments to give clearance for the resumption of bilateral cricket between India and Pakistan.”

The veteran of 124 Test matches said it was a shame that despite having good teams and exciting young talents, India and Pakistan are not compete against each other on regular basis. He said, “What is the purpose of this World Test Championship or any other ICC backed league if India and Pakistan don’t play against each other.”

Javed also said that he had lost all hope in the ICC in playing any role to get India and Pakistan to resume bilateral cricket, which has been suspended since 2008 except for a short limited over series held in 2012-13 in India as a goodwill gesture. He also feels that India and Pakistan series is much bigger than the Ashes and they can rule the world cricket if the issues between two countries get solved.

The former Pakistan skipper said the resumption of the bilateral cricket will also help to ease relations between the two countries. Miandad said that if India and Pakistan can play in ICC events like the World Cup or Champions Trophy or in the Asia Cup, why not in bilateral, matches.

The batting great also asked the ICC to keep a close eye on the mushrooming of T20 leagues to prevent any fixing scandals.
