ISLAMABAD, Dec 2 (AP): Pakistan cricket captain Shoaib Malik says the simmering tension between India and Pakistan in the wake of the Mumbai attacks can be lessened through cricket diplomacy.
"Everyone is sad whatever happened in Mumbai last week, but sporting activities should continue to ease the tension," Malik said at the National Cricket Academy in Lahore.
"Whenever there has been tension between India and Pakistan, cricket diplomacy has helped it. And this time cricket diplomacy could also return things to normal."
