Recently, former Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh weighed in on Pakistan’s stand on not travelling to India for any ICC event in future. The two nations have been constantly in spotlight because of the ongoing debate on the final venue of Champions Trophy.

The BCCI has made it clear that India will not be travelling to Pakistan for the upcoming tournament due to security concerns.

Opining on the same issue Harbhajan told Sports Today that,
“Don’t come to India if you don’t want to, we don’t have any issues. If Pakistan doesn’t come to India, it won’t matter much. You may ask current cricketers and they will have the same opinion. Had the situation in Pakistan been different, things could have been different.”
