I think cricket can make relations between the two countries better: Sania Mirza.—File photo

NEW DELHI: Sania Mirza on Thursday advocated resumption of bilateral cricketing ties between India and Pakistan, saying such a move can help in improving relations between the two countries.

“The very fact is obviously people love it. You say that in the (World Cup) semifinal (in Mohali between the two teams). I think it can make the relations between the two countries better. It's obvious, you have the two prime ministers watching (together), so it's good stuff,” Sania said.

“I don't know why not. I am telling there is hardly any difference whether I am married to a Indian or a Pakistani person.”

Sania, who got married to Pakistan cricketer Shoaib Malik in April last year, also emphasised on the positives of getting married to a sportsman.

“Being married to a sportsman, it's really is a blessing in a lot of ways. Because a lot of times, you don't need to explain a lot of things and they just go with it. You don't need to explain the pressure, you don't need to explain why you need to sleep at 10. These are things that are small, but they do cause issues,” the tennis ace said. —Agencies
