'No other cricket team will be able to beat us': Imran has eye on polls at Bahawalpur rally
Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan while addressing a rally in Bahawalpur on Sunday vowed that once the PTI comes to power, no other cricket team in the world will be able to beat Pakistan.
"The Pakistani cricket team lost so badly," he told the crowd, referring to the Pakistan Test team's recent whitewash in a series against Australia.
"Our team doesn't lose because there is a lack of talent. There is no lack of talent in this country," he said.
"Over here, there is no system for cricket," he claimed. "We cannot polish our talent."
"When the PTI comes [to power], I will fix the problems in cricket and sports. No other team will be able to beat us," he promised.
The PTI chief, speaking about the ongoing Panamagate case probing the Sharif family's ownership of properties, claimed the PTI's argument in the case is based on the allegations that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif brought properties in his daughter Maryam Nawaz's name using stolen money.
"People like [Defence Minister] Khawaja Asif say Panama is not a problem for the Pakistani people," he said. "Is it a problem for India then?" he asked.
