Though Cricket Club of India (CCI) secretary Suresh Bafna requested the same, Harbhajan is the first Indian cricketer to voice his opinion. Harbhajan reportedly said, "India should not play Pakistan in the world Cup. India is powerful enough to win the World Cup without having to play Pakistan. This is a difficult time.
"The attack that has happened, it was unbelievable and it's very wrong. Strict action will surely be taken by the government. When it comes to cricket, I don't think we should have any relations with them otherwise they will keep treating us like this."
Harbhajan stated that the country comes first and that everybody should stand by the martyred soldiers. "Cricket or hockey or sports, it should be kept aside because this is a huge thing and repeatedly our soldiers are killed. We should stand with our country. Cricket or hockey or any sport, we don't need to play with them," he added.
