Khawaja further added that money definitely has a huge impact in sports and teams keep proving this adage true.
The New Zealand team withdrew from the T20I series in Pakistan on September 17, just before the first match in Rawalpindi.
Pakistan-born Australian cricketer Usman Khawaja has said that cricket “talks about money” and therefore, teams can never turn down an assignment for India, but at the same time, “for players and organisations” out of assignment Getting out has become easier. Pakistan or Bangladesh.
After New Zealand were ruled out of the series against Pakistan citing security concerns, England also announced that they would not tour Pakistan. Both these events have dealt a major blow to Pakistan’s concerted efforts to bring back cricket in the country.
“I think it is very easy for players and organizations to say no to Pakistan, because it is Pakistan. I think the same thing would apply even if there was Bangladesh. But no one will say no to India if they are in a similar situation,” Khawaja told ‘The Australian Associated Press’.
Khawaja further added that money definitely has a huge impact in sports and teams keep proving this adage true. He said there is no reason for teams to move out of Pakistan as the country is too safe to play cricket.
The left-handed batsman said that he would go to Pakistan to play in any series. Australia is going to tour Pakistan next year. Khawaja claimed that there was adequate security and that he had heard nothing except reports of people feeling safe in the country.
Khawaja said that the players who played in the Pakistan Super League said that the security in Pakistan is 100 per cent.
New Zealand were slated to play a T20I series against Pakistan but they pulled out of the series on September 17, hours before the toss and despite all assurances they left Pakistan citing security concerns.

Angered by this sequence, the newly appointed PCB chairman Rameez Raja said that he would take up the issue with the ICC.
