LAHORE - Former skipper Zaheer Abbas has urged Pakistan cricket authorities to think about suspending ties with India if they don't agree to tour the country next month. "If India does not agree to tour our country then the board must think about having cricket relations with them. If they don't want to play us, we should think likewise," a website quoted him. The 61-year old stylish batsman said he was keen to see India retain their cricketing ties with Pakistan."They must tour. It is good for relations between the two countries. But if they don't want to come then we should also not go after them to convince them," he said.Known as the 'Asian Bradman' for his batting exploits, Zaheer said India had been trying to escape touring Pakistan even before the Mumbai terror attacks. "What happened in Mumbai was tragic and horrifying. But even before that, the Indian board had started raising security issues," he added.The former captain said he didn't agree with the board's stance that if India didn't want to play in Pakistan they could play at neutral venues. Though a number of former players supported the PCB's view, Zaheer objected saying Pakistan had to take a stand on this issue sooner or later. "Why should we play at neutral venues when the security situation is same all over the world? Why should we only be penalised for it? Tell me when has there ever been any terrorist attack during a cricket match or against any touring team," he said.
