Prior to entering politics, Imran Khan was a legendary cricketer who captained Pakistan to the 1992 cricket World Cup victory.
Former Australian captain Greg Chappell interviewed Prime Minister Imran Khan for the Sydney Morning Herald, in which he disclosed that his busy schedule keeps him away from cricket.
“Unfortunately, my days of watching cricket, for the time being, are over. I am unable to watch. I follow the matches in the papers but unless the pitches are more responsive we won’t see results,” Khan said.
When asked about T20 cricket, PM Imran answered that while it is a good start toward glamorizing sport, it will never be able to replace Test cricket.
“T20 is great entertainment with innovative stroke play and brilliant fielding, but the true test of a cricketer will always be Test cricket,” added the premier.
Imran Khan assured a question about the security situation that the visiting team has been granted Presidential-level security and that everything is in order, with the exception of the slow pitch that was created for the opening match.
“The Australian team is being given Presidential-level security and our people have been waiting with excitement for this series. Apart from the dead pitches, nothing can dampen the cricket fans’ excitement,” concluded Imran Khan.
