Usman Khawaja: “Nobody Would Say No To India”: Usman Khawaja said he would have no qualms about touring Pakistan. Australian batsman Usman Khawaja has expressed disappointment that New Zealand and England recently canceled their tours of Pakistan and said that financial reasons may have influenced these decisions.
The 34-year-old cricketer added that he would have no qualms about traveling to Pakistan, his country of birth, and Australia is supposed to go there after the ashes.
“I feel it’s very easy for players and organizations to say no to Pakistan, because it’s Pakistan,” Khawaja was quoted.
“I think the same thing would apply too if it were Bangladesh. But nobody would say no to India if they’re in the same situation,” he added.
“Money talks, we all know that, and that’s probably a big part of it. They keep proving time and time again through their tournaments that they’re a safe place to play cricket. I think there’s no reason why we shouldn’t go back,” Khawaja elaborated.
New Zealand withdrew from its Pakistan tour last week for security reasons. They left the tour on the opening day of ODI in Rawalpindi.
England followed suit a few days later and canceled tours of the South Asian country for both men’s and women’s teams.
