Venkatesh Prasad on Javed Miandad: Former Pakistan cricketer Javed Miandad made an objectionable comment on Sunday amid the ongoing tussle between the cricket boards of India and Pakistan over the hosting of the Asia Cup 2023. He used words like ‘Bhad me jaayen woh’ on the BCCI’s stand opposing the hosting of the Asia Cup in Pakistan. Now on this comment of Miandad, former Indian bowler Venkatesh Prasad has responded by tweeting.
Sharing this news related to Miandad, Venkatesh Prasad has simply written that, ‘But he is refusing to go to hell’.

Significantly, Pakistan was decided to host the Asia Cup 2023, but in October last year, BCCI Secretary Jai Shah made it clear that the Indian team would not go on a tour of Pakistan. After this, a controversy broke out regarding the hosting of Asia Cup 2023. Even in the recent Asian Cricket Council meeting held in Bahrain, nothing special has been done on this. While Pakistan desperately wants to host the Asia Cup 2023, the BCCI says that it will not be able to send the Indian team to Pakistan in the current situation. The situation on this matter may become clear next month. By the way, after the stand of BCCI, it is believed that the Asia Cup can be shifted to UAE.
What did Javed Miandad say?
Talking to a Pakistani news channel during an event, when Miandad was asked a question about the Indian team not coming to Pakistan, he clearly said that if the Indian team is not coming to Pakistan, then go to hell, Pakistan. It doesn’t matter. Miandad had said, ‘I have been saying earlier also that if they (Indian team) are not coming then go to hell, we don’t care. We are getting our cricket. This is the work of ICC. If this thing cannot be controlled by ICC, then there is no work of such a governing body.
Miandad had given a fabricated reason
Miyadand also gave a fabricated reason for the Indian team not coming to Pakistan during this period. He said, ‘Why doesn’t the Indian team play here because they get in trouble when they lose here. Such is the public of India. It has always been his way, whenever he loses, he becomes a problem. For the same reason, he did not come here during our time also. Whenever India loses, whether it loses to us or to someone else, the public there sets houses on fire. We remember when we used to play, there were so many problems with their players.
