ISLAMABAD
\nFormer Chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Zaka Ashraf, who was the head of cricket controlling board when Pakistan team visited India in 2012-13 for their last bilateral series against neighbors since then, has made an interesting revelation about the tour.
\nTalking to a cricket website, Mr Zaka said he proposed sending players\u2019 wives with them to India to \u2018keep an eye on them\u2019.
\n\u201cDuring my tenure (as the president of the PCB) when our team went on a tour to India, I advised that the wives of the players will accompany them.
\nThe players made a slight objection but I said that their wives will keep a close check on the players. Eventually, everyone took it in a nice way and went to India,\u201d Ashraf told Cricket Pakistan.
\nIn 2012, Pakistan had toured India to play three ODIs and two T20Is. While Pakistan won the ODI series 2-1, the T20I series ended in a draw.
\n\u201cEveryone remained disciplined as during previous tours, India would always try to trap us and tarnish the image of our players and country.
\nThis decision was taken so that no controversy could be created as Indian media is always on the lookout for that. So, we managed to avoid any controversy,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
