Let us tell you that international cricket has recently returned to Pakistan and some teams have also toured this country.
After this statement of Jay Shah, the former Pakistan cricketer is giving a sharp reaction.

Meanwhile, now the reaction of former fast bowler Wasim Akram has come to the fore. This former Pakistan player says that Jay Shah should have talked with the PCB chairman before making this statement, as well as the issue could have been resolved in a meeting.
Akram said 'The Cricket Board has given a very strong statement, India cannot dictate how Pakistan should play cricket. Cricket has also started in Pakistan after 10-15 years. I am a former sportsperson and sports person, I do not know what is going on on the political front. But it is important to talk to people. If you had to say Jai Shah Sahab, you would have called our chairman at work and called a meeting of the Asian Council. You give your views, and it will be discussed.'
