Virat Kohli on playing Pakistan in ICC World Cup 2019: ‘Will stand by what BCCI decides’
Virat Kohli.
With the BCCI wanting to forfeit the clash with Pakistan in the upcoming World Cup 2019, Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli, on Saturday, said that they will stand by whatever decision the cricket body takes.
Kohli, speaking a day ahead of the first T20I against Australia in Visakhapatnam, offered his condolences to the families of CRPF soldiers who lost their lives in the recent Pulwama terror attack that has further affected the relations between India and Pakistan. The attack was carried out by a suicide bomber belonging to Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Muhammed.
Kohli said, “Our sincere condolences to the families of CRPF soldiers who lost their lives in Pulwama attack. From the Indian team and the whole set up, we are really shocked about what happened and sad about the incident that happened.”
Responding on the cricket team’s stand on playing with Pakistan in the World Cup, Kohli further said, “Our stand is simple. We stick by what the nation wants to do and what the BCCI decides to do and that is basically our opinion. We will go by what the govt and the Board decides, we will respect that. So that is our stand on the issue.”
