| Virender Sehwag says, 'India-Pakistan match like a war, we should win' | | | Former India cricketer Virender Sehwag compared match between India and Pakistan to a war. Sehwag said, a cricket match between India and Pakistan is like a war and India should win. There have been calls from fans and former cricketers that Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) should boycott Pakistan in World Cup.
“There are two points which are discussed, whether we should have a war with Pakistan or not (and whether we should play Pakistan),” Sehwag said while speaking at an event in Goa.
“There is another point that is discussed. We should do whatever is good for the country's welfare. When India and Pakistan play a match, it is nothing less than a war. We should win the war, not lose it," he told reporters.
Former cricketer and politician Gautam Gambhir also called for boycott against Pakistan after Pulwama attack that took place in Jammu & Kashmir.
When reporters asked Sehwag about his plans to join politics he said, “I have always worked on contracts from Ranji to the IPL, whichever party gives me a better contract I will join them.”
The World Cup begins on May 30 and it will take place in England and Wales. India and Pakistan will play their first match in the tournament on June 16. All the teams will play nine round-robin games each before top four teams qualify for knock-out stage. |
