Pakistani noted educationist and economist S Akbar Zaidi today advocated for resumption of cricket between India and Pakistan saying if cricket starts between the two countries "other things will work out automatically."
"Pakistan government has been showing interest for quite some time. But, I think the BCCI has been reluctant to play for political reasons. If cricket starts, other things will work out automatically," Zaidi said at the Bengal Chamber here.
The ICC tournaments and the Asia Cup remain the only events where India and Pakistan face each other now.
