Australian commentator reacts to cancellation of England and New Zealand tour of Pakistan
World-renowned Australian commentator Mike Heisman's cancellation of his visit to Pakistan has angered the England and New Zealand cricket boards.
Australian commentator Mike Heisman said that it was very sad that New Zealand's visit to Pakistan was canceled.
He said that England canceled the tour of Pakistan without asking the English players which is completely wrong. New Zealand canceled the tour but did not share the security threat information with Pakistan when you are playing international level cricket. Proof of security threat must be shown.
What England is doing is unacceptable: Mike Heisman
Australian commentator Mike Heisman, while discussing the cancellation of the tour by England, clarified that Pakistan visited England at a difficult time. When Corona was at its peak in England, Pakistani players risked their lives to visit England. He made a shameful decision by canceling his visit to Pakistan.
He said the ICC should look into the matter because whatever England was doing was unacceptable.
"When I worked in South Africa, I still saw England canceling the tour.''The England players arrived in South Africa and canceled the tour under the pretext of Corona''. Not a single player was positive for Corona, but England did," he said. Still refused to play.
If there was a threat in Pakistan, he would not have come to comment in the National T20 Cup: Heisman
The Australian commentator said that he was present in Pakistan when South Africa visited Pakistan recently. The South African players said that they did not have any security problem in Pakistan.
"If I had felt threatened in Pakistan, I would not have come to comment on the National T20 Cup," said Mike Herman.
Pakistan is as safe for cricket as any other country: Australian commentator
He said that people in Pakistan are very loving, I have always felt happy working in Pakistan, I am very impressed with the natural talent of cricket in Pakistan.
Mike Hayesman also praised the talents of Pakistani cricketers and said that Pakistani cricketers have different talents than other players in the world. The batting and bowling style of Pakistani cricketers is different which is not seen anywhere in the world, whenever he comes to Pakistan. If there are 2, 3 new talented players, which is a welcome thing.
The Australian commentator further said that he was enjoying the National T20 Cup to the fullest and stood by Pakistan cricket in this difficult time and let the world know that Pakistan is a safe place for cricket like any other country.
