Pakistan’s field hockey great Shahbaz Ahmed says he cannot wait for India to play cricket in his country.

“I am as excited as anyone else,” Shahbaz said.

“India have not played a test in Pakistan in 15 years so this is obviously a very special moment for our two countries,” Shahbaz said.

“Look, India and Pakistan just don’t want to lose to each other, be it cricket or hockey or any other sport.

“Our mindsets are like that. The public reacts horribly when we lose so the players are always on their toes. It becomes more than just sport. It should not, but it does.”
