Yeah SL will definetely play Pak if needed. A lot of the players have offered supportsam_ahm wrote: āTue Sep 21, 2021 5:26 pmI feel sorry for PCB but yeah those statements from Ramiz Raja on Zimbabwe have come back to haunt him big time.
There is a very good article by George Dobell today on cricinfo highlighting the double standards of ECB. It is a well written article.
In another article cricinfo mentions that Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe and Bangladesh have all offered to play against Pakistan to fill the gap but Pak are not able to proceed due to logistical issues.
PCB are very vocal about not playing their home games in UAE any more which I think is stupid because there are at least 4 countries that will certainly not tour Pakistan - England, Australia, New Zealand and India. Of these 4, other than India the remaining three will readily play at a neutral venue and if PCB are adamant they are literally isolating themselves by not playing 4 top cricketing nations.
Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, West Indies and Zimbabwe will be more supportive of PCB I'm sure. Can't say much about South Africa at the moment, but they recently toured Pakistan so they don't have to tour anytime soon anyways.
Sri Lanka have been the most supportive of all, ironic when it was them who got attacked in 2009, but yeah, great gesture by Sri Lanka to show such support, esp the players.slcricfan1 wrote: āWed Sep 22, 2021 8:40 amYeah SL will definetely play Pak if needed.
