"Babar and Rizwan are extraordinary players however don't address the entire Pakistan group. Babar and Rizwan can't assume the entire liability of the group upon their shoulders.

Governmental issues should be kept away. India and Pakistan should play each other across every one of the three arrangements. Both the groups ought to play at nonpartisan setting incase unfit to visit each other's nations."
