With the start of the first Test match against Australia at Pindi Stadium, a new era in Pakistan’s Test cricket began, and at this historic moment, Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting, Fawad Chaudhry, has also invited the Indian cricket team to visit Pakistan for bilateral series.
Fawad Chaudhry told the media during his visit to Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium with Sindh Governor Imran Ismail for the historic Test match that it is time for Pakistan and India to move forward for the sake of cricket.
In response to a question about India’s recent tactics against Pakistan cricket, the minister stated that the Indian government should send a team to Pakistan to establish a new era in cricket rather than using cheap tactics.
“India should now stop conspiracies against Pakistan. We have already developed our image through hosting a lot of international events. I ask them to stop doing conspiracies and come here to play cricket,” he said.
It is worth noting that just a few days ago, the family of Australian cricketer Ashton Agar was threatened by an Indian national using a bogus Instagram account.
Ashton Agar’s family received a message from a fake Instagram account warning them that they would face severe consequences if they visited Pakistan.
Fawad Chaudhry said this while welcoming Australia’s Pat Cummins-led team inside the stadium ahead of the first Test match, “It’s a historic moment for Pakistan’s cricket. We welcome Australia in our country and are excited to watch some competitive cricket here”.
Fawad also stated that Prime Minister Imran Khan will pay a visit to Pindi Stadium to watch the first Test live from there. “PM Imran is also following this tour and he will come to watch the first Test here,” he added.
Earlier today, the minister thanked the Australian team on his Twitter handle for helping to make this March memorable for the nation. “Pakistan was waiting for you,” he said.
