He will be taken very good care of – Wasim Akram According to ESPNcricinfo, Wasim Akram said, I think from everything I am reading, there are positive signals from the Indian government and the BCCI. I read somewhere that they will play all their games in Lahore. They will probably come to Lahore and go back the same night. I am completely ready for this, provided India is comfortable. And I can promise you that they will be very well taken care of. I mean, Indian cricketers like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, (Hardik) Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav have fans in Pakistan. Young cricket fans like him very much. Let us tell you, Pakistan Cricket has proposed to BCCI that Team India will play all its matches in Lahore. The board has also assured complete security and also said that the team will return to Chandigarh after finishing each match in Lahore. Additionally, if India reaches the final of the tournament, the venue of the final will be changed to Lahore. BCCI Vice President Rajeev Shukla says that, No decision has been taken yet. But our policy is that we always take government permission for international tours. It is up to the government to decide whether our team should go to a country or not.
