Indian Congress member Shashi Tharoor has raised his voice on Pakistan’s boycott of the match against India in the ICCT World Twenty20 and the issue of Bangladeshi cricketer Mustafizur Rahman.
Member of Parliament Shashi Tharoor said Bangladeshi cricketer Mustafizur Rehman should not have been released from his contract to play in Kolkata.
In a statement, Shashi Tharoor said that political interference has worsened the situation and I think Bangladesh’s overreaction was too much.
He said that Pakistan is trying to show solidarity with Bangladesh, this issue is getting out of control, we should make a serious compromise.
Shashi Tharoor said that sports should be a medium to bring comedians closer and avoid controversies and it is a shame that sports has been politicized.
The leader of the Congress said that sports especially cricket is of great importance to the people and this situation is a warning for all parties concerned, all parties should contact each other urgently.
It is worth mentioning that Bangladesh had requested the ICC to shift all their matches in the T20 World Cup to Sri Lanka on the basis of insecurity in India, but instead of understanding and resolving the issue, the ICC included Scotland.
Following this situation, the Pakistan government decided not to participate in the high-voltage match against India on February 15, to show solidarity with Bangladesh.
