Inzamam-All-Haq, Misbah-ul-Haq and Aamer Sohail say Pakistan is offended by returning an international cricket event.
Cricket fans in Pakistan are buzzing in front of the trophy of the International Council for Crickets (ICC), and host the elite one -day international tournament will light the country's love relationship with sports, say three former captains.
The event that includes the best eight sides of the sport in the form of ODI, Begins on Wednesday with the hosts against New Zealand in Karachi.
This will be First major global tournament host Pakistan After nearly 30 years and a former Inzam-Hak-Hack vati, he told Reuters agency that he would not escape the excitement at the beginning of the event.
“At the moment, everyone is talking about the championship trophy – in schools, houses, markets, offices, everywhere,” he said.
Pakistan spent nearly a decade in the wilderness after artillery attacking the cricket team in Lahore in 2009, wounding six players.
The top teams diverted from Pakistan after the attack, and it took years on the Pakistani Cricket Board to convince their foreign counterparts that it was safe to visit.
“The events of 2009 feel like a bad dream,” Imam said. “We were punished for 10 years. Our cricket went back. “
The national team, the captain for most of those years of Misbah-HAQ, hosted his “home” games in the United Arab Emirates and remained relatively successful. Then the matches began to rotate back on the Pakistani soil in 2018.
“For fans and young crickets to see the stars who play live, it is a big deal,” said Missbach, the most successful captain of the Pakistan test. “That this did not mean that the whole cricket machine was stuck.”
Former Captain Aamer Sohael said the relationship between fans and players was obvious in the Wednesday Africa Wednesday game when Pakistan was rolled up in 352 visitors to complete his most successful pursuit of Odi Run.
“What was listening to the game is that people showed up and then the players appeared. It was somehow reciprocating, wasn't it? “Sohail added
The Champions Trophy was terminated by ICC after the eighth edition in 2017 when Sarfaraz Ahmed's Pakistan beat India in the finalS
If both teams reach the title this year, Pakistan will not have the advantage of playing at home because India plays all its matches in this edition in Dubai due to political tension.
“The match of Pakistan-India is not just a game of cricket-it's a game of expectations, of emotions,” Missbach said.
Imam recalled ODI from 2004 against India in Karachi, where he put an exciting one hundred in losing pursuit.
“I received a standing ovation, but so did the Indian team to present them,” he said. “The supporters from both sides would like to see this match.”
Sohail will be remembered forever for one of the most famous gateways on the spot with the Indian bowling Venkatesh Prasad in the quarterfinals of the 1996 World Cup, the last major event played in Pakistan.
“This is not only important for both sides. I think this rivalry is important for the international cricket, “he said.
