Team India’s former spinner Harbhajan Singh got involved in a heated debate with a Pakistan news anchor.

Earlier, Jay Shah had announced that the Indian Team will not travel to Pakistan next year for the Asia Cup. The news anchor questioned Jay Shah’s announcement.

Harbhajan Singh’s aggressive reply to the anchor

Harbhajan who was called on Aaj Tak’s special show with Pakistan’s ARY News as a cricket expert, gave a befitting reply to the anchor while making him remember PCB chief Ramiz Raza’s earlier statement about hosting a World Cup.

“Ramiz Raza had given a statement last year that Pakistan Cricket does not have the kind of money and that they need to look towards the BCCI. Either that or if the BCCI offers PCB money, Pakistan cricket is surviving. If you feel, you don’t want to come to India, please don’t. Who is asking you? If you don’t want to play the ICC event, it’s your call. If our players are not safe there, we won’t send. Don’t play if that’s what you want,” Harbhajan said on the special show ahead of the India vs Pakistan game in T20 World Cup.

The debate got heated when the Pakistan anchor mentioned that the Indian Team would have certainly travelled to Pakistan if it was for a World Cup as they won’t miss a tournament of that stature.

The anchor went on to challenge the legendary spinner that if a World Cup is held in Pakistan, and the Indian team doesn’t come, we shall see.

Harbhajan accepted the challenge and replied,”Toh le liya bhai tera challenge (I accept your challenge, buddy). Indian cricket knows how to run their cricket. We don’t need PCB. We have an issue and we have said it. If the government gives the approval, sure.”

There is a constant debate going on right since BCCI has declared that they won’t be traveling to Pakistan for the Asia Cup next year.

Pakistan has been a no-go area for Indian Cricket right since 2008. The BCCI has made it very clear that they require the government’s approval before sending the team to any other nation and they won’t send the team to Pakistan if they don’t get the government’s nod.
