Zaheer Abbas Wants Stadium to be Built on Pakistan India Border.
Batting legend Zaheer Abbas said on Tuesday that a cricket stadium should be built on the Pakistan India border to revive cricketing relations between the two countries.
The "Asia Bradman" suggested that a stadium should be built on the border half of it lying in Pakistan and the other half in India and should be under the joint control of Pakistan Cricket Board and the BCCI."Build a stadium at Wagah border so that there are no problems of India not coming to Pakistan, and Pakistan not going to India," Abbas, a former Pakistan captain, told AFP.
"Half of the portion should be in Pakistan and half should be in India so that fans don't need any visa. Pakistani fans should support their team from their side and Indians from their side and this example could also be followed in other sports."
"Sports of both the countries have suffered because of the politics, but people from both the sides want to see their teams playing – be it hockey, cricket or any other sport," said Abbas, who acted as an expert for an Indian television channel during the World Cup.
Pakistan have played games and series in neutral countries, but Abbas said that was damaging.
