Pakistani legend Javed Miandad calls India's prime minister Manmohan Singh's invitation to counterpart Gilani aman ka chhakka (sixer of peace)
Pakistan's 1992 World Cup-winning vice-captain, Javed Miandad believes India-Pak cricket is beyond politics and has called India Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's invitation to his counterpart Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani to watch the World Cup semi-final in Mohali, Aman ka chhakka (sixer of peace).
India and Pakistan have not played on their territory since July 2008 and bilateral series have taken a beating since the Mumbai terror attacks in November 2008.
Take note...
"The higher authorities should realise the importance of cricket. Actors and sportspersons from both countries should meet each other more often. This will reduce tension and end all misunderstanding. When India came to Pakistan for that historic series in 2004, everyone went home with great memories,' Miandad added.
Twenty-five years ago, in Sharjah, Miandad hit medium-pacer Chetan Sharma for a six off the last ball to help Pakistan win the Australasia Cup on April 18, 1986.
That six changed India vs Pakistan cricket forever. He figured in six World Cups just like Sachin Tendulkar and featured in two India vs Pakistan World Cup battles ufffd Sydney, 1992 and Bangalore, 1996.
