Cricket: ‘Cricket can bring Ind-Pak closer’

Azhar Mahmood believed that there are no boundaries in cricket and the sport can play a vital part in bridging the gap between India and Pakistan, according to expressbuzz. “When we toured India in 1997, there was tension between the two nations,” said Mahmood. “But after that tour, tensions eased. The game has no boundary. In the past it was cricket which brought the two nations together and I hope it will be same in future.” He also felt that Pakistani team is progressing under the leadership of Misbahul Haq and coach Dav Whatmore.
