Cricket relations over: Pak.

By B. Muralidhar Reddy

ISLAMABAD, MARCH 26. In an angry reaction to the reported decision of India not to participate in the Sharjah Cup, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief has said that Pakistan would snap its cricket relations with India.

Piqued over the India's decision, the PCB chief, Gen. Zia, one of the senior Pakistani military commander, has said Pakistan would not cross the borders if the governing body allocated the International Cricket Council (ICC) knockout tournament to India.

``We have had enough and we are not going to have a rethink. Our cricket relations with India are over,'' he told reporters.

Pointing his finger at the Indian umpire, Mr. Ramaswamy, the PCB chief said, ``tell the Indian Board that we will no more play against India - anywhere, anymore''.

Gen. Zia complained that the ICC has done nothing when Pakistan took up the matter with it. ``We took up the matter during the ICC meeting in Melbourne but nothing has been done''.
