But these are political issues that are discussed between the leaders of the two countries. India is a more powerful country than Pakistan in terms of wealth. And, India has always been helpful to Pakistan in many tough situations, irrespective of tensed political situations. But when a cricketer begs for help, it doesn’t get easily digested by the fans. Similarly, after former Pakistan cricketer Akhtar passed the statement to media, it has astonished many. Twitterati is badly trolling the former cricketer.

Akhtar has also recommended for organizing a match between India and Pakistan behind close doors to raise funds to combat the deadly virus. His advice was strictly disagreed by former Indian captain Kapil Dev. He said that India doesn’t need the money and they are not interested in keeping the lives of cricketers on danger.
