Lahore: Veteran cricketer Wasim Akram has urged India to visit Pakistan to play ICC Champions Trophy.

In an interview, he said that Indian cricketers such as Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav have a lot of fans in Pakistan, who are eagerly awaiting their arrival.

The former bowler, popularly known as the Sultan of Swing, said that the Pakistan Cricket Board had made several offers to the Board of Control for Cricket in India to ensure their team's smooth visit to this side of the border to participate in the global tournament.
