Return of top teams for Champions Trophy means a lot to Pakistan cricket: Wasim Bari

Hindustan Times  

Karachi, Former captain Wasim Bari is glad to see the return of a global cricketing event to Pakistan through the ICC Champions Trophy, and hopes that the nightmarish days after the militant attack on Sri Lankan team in 2009 are forgotten forever. Return of top teams for Champions Trophy means a lot to Pakistan cricket: Wasim Bari Pakistan could not host international cricket for 10 years after that gruesome day, and were forced to play their home matches in the UAE. Without putting blame on anyone, Bari said: “It should never have happened and the result was Pakistan cricket couldn’t properly grow for the next 10 years, as all teams refused to play in Pakistan for security reasons.” Bari said he is delighted to see the ICC Champions Trophy being held in Pakistan now and multiple teams landing in the country. “I think it is also a time to pay tribute to the resilience of Pakistan cricket while hosting the Champions Trophy, after all that has happened in the last 10 years.” Bari said Pakistan have some very good players, who are capable of helping the team defend the Champions Trophy title.
