While talking to a private TV channel Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman Zaka Ashraf said that the Indian cricket team is hesitant to play Pakistan since it is intimidated by the green caps. He mentioned that especially in the wake of a phenomenal performance against the world number 1 test side, England, the Indian cricket team feels they would face severe backlash from fans in the home country if they are to lose against Pakistan.
It is pertinent to mention that Pakistan has already won the test series against England being played at a neutral venue in UAE, despite tremendous odds stacked against them. News of Pakistan’s success against England has also been followed by news of Mohammad Amir’s release from the England jail after being indicted for spot fixing. The left arm fast bowling sensation said that he will soon reveal his plans about his return to cricket.
As far as the Pakistan cricket side is concerned, following their win against England, Saeed Ajmal and Abdur Rehman have officially made it to the top ten list of bowlers in Tests, with Ajmal ranked second while Rehman is ranked at the 9th spot.
