Taking a jibe at Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman Mohsin Naqvi, jailed former cricketer-turned politician Imran Khan has said that he, along with Army Chief Asim Munir, should bat as openers if they want to win a cricket match against India. These sarcastic comments by Khan have come after India comfortably defeated Pakistan in two matches in the ongoing Asia Cup being held in Dubai
The former prime minister’s sister Aleema Khan, while talking to reporters on Monday, said Imran suggested that the only way to win a cricket match against India was if Army Chief Gen Munir and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Naqvi bat as openers while umpires should be former chief justice of Pakistan Qazi Faez Isa and Chief Election Commissioner of Pakistan Sikandar Sultan Raja.
The third umpire should be Islamabad High Court Chief Justice Sarfaraz Dogar, she added. Aleema said she had told her brother about the back-to-back defeats of the Pakistan cricket team at the hands of India. Imran Khan blames Naqvi for destroying Pakistani cricket with his “incompetence” and “nepotism”.
