‘Are they Aliens from another world?’: Junaid Khan slams India for refusing to visit Pakan

Pakan left-arm seamer Junaid Khan slammed India for denying to visit Pakan for the upcoming Asia Cup and questioned if the Indian players are aliens from another world.
Junaid Khan said: “The situation in Pakan is good. If other teams are coming, such as Australia, England, South Africa, and New Zealand, and they have no security problems, then why does India have a problem? What is the reason for this? Are they Aliens from another world who have security problems?
“The ICC should look into these issues; otherwise, cricket without Pakan is impossible. Pakan is not a small team; just a few days ago, Pakan was the world’s number one team and is still among the top three teams,” he added.
Despite BCCI’s reluctance to travel to Pakan. Pakan Cricket Board (PCB) continues to show interest in keeping the tournament at home, with BCCI finding support from other member nations of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC), the decision seems a formality at the moment.
After the BCCI refused to travel to Pakan for the tournament citing lack of clearance from the government, the PCB had proposed a hybrid model to host the Asia Cup where India’s matches alone would be hosted in Dubai.
Sri Lanka is likely to host the upcoming Asia Cup with the (ACC) set to move the tournament from Pakan. A final decision on the venue for the tournament is expected the end of this month with Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Afghanan backing the move to host the event in the island nation.

Pakan’s participation in the tournament is unclear as of now with reports indicating that it might boycott the event.
