India spinner Kuldeep Yadav has expressed his excitement to travel to Pakistan for the 2025 Champions Trophy, saying “the Pakistani people are great”.
Kuldeep noted that he has “never been to Pakistan before” and is excited about the prospect of playing there.
His comments come during a period of uncertainty about whether the tournament will go ahead in Pakistan as it remains to be seen if India will commit to travelling there.
Despite this, the 29-year-old from Kanpur is ready to make the trip if his side are given the green light to travel to Pakistan.
“As cricketers, we will play wherever we are sent. I have never been to Pakistan before, so I am excited. The Pakistani people are great, and whenever we get the chance, we will definitely go and play there,” Kuldeep was quoted as saying by Cricket Pakistan.
