imran khan pakistan

In an interview with Australian media the legend Imran Khan said that cricket is safe in Pakistan. Pakistani people love cricket. The terrorist activities does not link to people choice sofar. I know that cricketers would never be under any threat from terrorists,” The News quoted Imran as saying in an interview with Australian Television.

He added: “Terrorists rely on support from the masses because that’s where they get their recruits, and cricket is a game which is so loved and there’s such passion in Pakistan that the terrorists know that if a cricket match is bombed, they’ve had it. The public will just turn against them.”

He said those who wanted to destabilise Pakistan “would not risk alienating their support base by attacking cricketers”.

Australia have not toured Pakistan for a decade and abandoned a visit earlier this year because of security concerns. In August, Australia also pulled out of the Champions Trophy in Pakistan, which subsequently postponed the tournament till next year.
