Newly-elected International Cricket Council (ICC) president Zaheer abbas said he would play his part in reviving India-Pakistan cricket series, despite the ceremonial nature of his position.

The Pakistan great said he would actively contribute to the betterment of cricket in his largely honorary role.

“Being in a ceremonial post does not mean I can’t do anything. I love this game and in the next one year I want to contribute something to world cricket,” Zaheer was quoted as saying by the Press Trust of India.

“I know it is not an easy task because Indo-Pak cricket ties are ruled by political relations between the two countries. But I want to do something in this direction because if we have regular bilateral ties it is good for players and people of both countries,” he added.
