Cricket Stadium on India-Pakistan border?



Batting legend Zaheer Abbas said that the new stadium should be built on the border between India and Pakistan to encourage as a way to cricket relations between the rivals.

Pakistan played their first game of cricket in India - the World Cup semi-final - since November 2008 bombings in Mumbai that killed 166 and New Delhi made responsible extremists across the border.

The fatal incident brought strained relations between the two countries and also in neutral sports links.

But since the semi-finals, there was speculation that the resumption of cricket and other sports between the two countries could be on the cards.

Zaheer Abbas, former Pakistan captain, is also very popular in India for his batting exploits, entitled "Asian Bradman", a joint stadium could hit a crucial role in improving relations play.

"Building a stadium at the Wagah border so it does not get any problems in India not to go to Pakistan and Pakistan to India, he said.

"Half of the party should have to be in Pakistan, and half in India, so that fans do not need a visa. Pakistani fans support their team, could be emulated in other sports on their side and the Indians on their side, and this example. "

Zaheer, who played 78 Tests and 62 one-day internationals for Pakistan during a glittering career, said sports should not suffer from the often delicate diplomacy.

"Sport of the two countries have suffered because of politics, but want to play see the people on both sides of their team - be it hockey, cricket or any other sport," said Zaher, who acted as an expert in an Indian television station during the World Cup.

Pakistan Cricket Board officials have said they are in talks with their Indian colleagues for a cricket series later this year, though security fears for travel teams in Pakistan remains a stumbling block.

Pakistan have played games and series in neutral countries, but Abbas said it was harmful.

"If Pakistan and India play at a neutral place, like, people in both countries the chance, the series of Indo-Pak? It should be in India or Pakistan," he said.
