Karachi: Pakistan captain Sarfraz Ahmed is “disappointed” that cricket is being targeted after the Pulwama terror attack and said the high-profile India-Pakistan World Cup game should go ahead as planned despite calls for the match’s boycott from several quarters of the neighbouring country. “The India vs Pakistan match should be played as per schedule as there are millions of fans who want to watch this game. I don’t think cricket should be targeted for political gains,” Khan said. “It is disappointing to see cricket being targeted after the Pulwama incident. I don’t recall Pakistan ever mixing sports with politics,” he added. The fate of the much-anticipated World Cup match to be held on June 16 in Manchester lies in limbo after several former Indian cricketers called for its boycott in the aftermath of the ghastly terror attack. “Sports should just be taken as sports,” he added. — PTI
