LAHORE, (INP): Pakistan Cricket Board has reportedly not invited Chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, Imran Khan among other former cricketers to witness final match of Pakistan Super League 2017 in Gaddafi Stadium on March 5.
Provisional decision of the cricket authority has come in over PTI chief’s opposition of holding the match in Pakistan terming it a security risk.
Earlier this week, Shehryar Khan, Chairman of the board branded PTI chief’s stance an attempt to score political points over sports. He had criticised the leader of an opposition party alleging for discouraging return of international cricket to Pakistan.
However, Imran Khan’s stance was endorsed by former president and co-chair of Pakistan People’s Party, Asif Ali Zardari. The PPP chief had declared the final match of PSL 2017 in Pakistan a security risk.
Reportedly, the board has also not invited Abdul Qadir, Sarfraz Nawaz and JavedMiandad when there are enclosures by their names.
It should be mentioned here that Sarfraz Nawaz had levelled allegations against Chairman of Pakistan Super League, NajamSethi and PCB chief in the recent past.
