Australia Cricketer Slams Teams Pulling out of Pakistan Tour, Says Money Talks, Nobody Would say no to India
Pakistan-born Australian cricketer Usman Khawaja says “money talks” and no team would say no to touring India, but it is “easy for players and organisations” to turn down assignments in Pakistan or in Bangladesh.
“I feel it’s very easy for players and organisations to say no to Pakistan, because it’s Pakistan. I think the same thing would apply too if it were Bangladesh. But nobody would say no to India,” Khawaja was quoted as saying by AAP.
“Money talks, we all know that, and that’s probably a big part of it. They keep proving time and time again through their tournaments that they’re a safe place to play cricket. I think there’s no reason why we shouldn’t go back,” he said.
Khawaja said he would happily travel to Pakistan to play. Australia are scheduled to tour Pakistan next year.
Australia are scheduled to tour Pakistan for two Test matches, three ODIs and as many T20Is in February and March 2022.
