Islamabad, Dec. 15: Former captain and Pakistan's cricket ambassador to China Javed Miandad believes that if China becomes another venue for Pakistan's offshore international matches, then it will also help promote the game in that country.
"At a time when cricket playing nations are reluctant to visit Pakistan, I think China is another option for us to arrange our home series at that neutral venue," the Daily Times quoted Miandad as saying at a press conference on Tuesday.
He said the Chinese wanted to promote cricket in their country, which was the most popular game of sub-continent.
"They want to promote cricket and need our help for that. I think the best thing that we can do in this regard is to hold our matches there," he said.
Miandad, one of the mentors of the fledgling sport in China, said that the cricket stadium at Guangdong University of Technology, where the Asian Games Twenty20 Tournament was held, was suitable for all kind of international matches.
He said China had great talent for cricket and their future in the game was bright. (ANI)
