Former Pakistan cricketer Rashid Latif recently flaunted his Indian roots and connection during a TV talk show. Rashid Latif, who was famous for his wicket-keeping skills, is now a days known for fiery comebacks and bold critics. A video doing round the internet shows Rashid Latif in a conversation with Dr Numan Niaz, in which, he said, he has left India, but it doesn't mean he has forgot the culture and style of living. He still bleeds the blue.

Latif said 90% of his family members still live in Sultanpur.

"Mulq chhod diya hai iska matlab logo ko bhul thodi na jayenge. Rang to neela hi rahega na humara to. Ek humare bhai Sultanpur mein rehte hain and humari 90 percent family Sultanpur mein rehti hai."

For the unversed, Latif said his father lived in Uttar Pradesh's Sultanpur before moving to Pakistan in the 1950s. He proudly mentioned that he is half-Indian and still have a brother who resides in India.

He further added that people from Uttar Pradesh are maestro in multiple field and that's why Britishers named UP as Upper Province. "Goro nei aisi hi nahi Uttar Pradesh ka naam Upper Province rakha tha," he stated.

"Politics mein and brain mein and gaaliyon mein number one Uttar Pradesh. Hum log waha se hain. Toh panga nahi lene ka apan se." This highlights his pride in his heritage and the capabilities of those from the region.

However, it has been reported that Dubai is most likely to host India vs Pakistan match, if Pakistan Cricket Board accepts the offer to organize the Champions Trophy 2025 in a hybrid model.
