Former Pakistani batsman, Javed Miandad seems to be giving invitations to controversies more often than not because of his obnoxious comments or his actions. From wearing army cap during the recently concluded series between Pakistan and Sri Lanka which garnered a lot of criticized to coming with a video where he could be seen wielding his sword as part of showing ‘solidarity’ with the Indian Kashmiris after the Indian government removed Article 370, Miandad grabbed headlines in these past few months.

In this day and age where Pakistan Cricket Board is making all possible efforts to bring back international cricket in the country,  Miandad recently stated where he appealed to the International Cricket Council (ICC) that the apex cricketing body should ask other member nations to stop touring and playing cricket in India. Miandad was referring to the Anti-Citizenship Amendment Act [CAA] protests that have taken place in India in the past few weeks.

As per the quotes in PakPassion.net, Miandad said, “My message to ICC, please stop all the playing countries [from] touring India. Now you can see, now [we] will see the justice from ICC, what are they going to do and what they are going to say to the world.”

This former World Cup-winning player added, “ICC, come forward and tell all the world, all the people who are members with the ICC, they must tell all the countries [to] stop playing any games in India because India is [no longer] a safe country. Other countries are better than India because there they are fighting with the people, their own people. Look at that, what’s going on? Must take action.”

Miandad comments naturally attracted a lot of backlash from the fans as well as former Indian cricketers. The latest to join the bandwagon is Vinod Kambli.

Kambli took to Twitter and took a dig at Miandad’s habit of poking in others’ issues that haven’t yet gone. The former Indian cricketer proceeded to tell Miandad that India has always provided the best security to the visiting teams, and perhaps he should focus more on which countries want to tour the terror-ravaged nation.
