Former India cricketer Harbhajan Singh had clashed with a Pakistani anchor on a TV show when the conversation shifted towards Jay Shah's statement on India's participation in the 2023 Asia Cup which is scheduled to take place in Pakistan.
Shah, who is the president of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC), is trying to shift the 2023 Asia Cup from Pakistan to a neutral venue which has caused ripples in the Pakistan cricket community. Harbhajan was a part of the discussion panel on the show and expressed his views on the same.
"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,” Singh replied on the show.
The anchor, in his reply, said that if it had been an ICC tournament taking place in the neighbouring country, then India would not have had such a problem in travelling to Pakistan.
