The Asian Giants India and Pakistan have faced a huge backlash due to political reasons, as they have not played in a single bilateral series for over a decade. On the other hand, the BCCI has permitted them to play in the matches governed by the Asian Cricket Council and the International Cricket Council.
India playing against Pakistan and the Indian government granting permission for the event has been a controversial decision. The incident that took place in the Pehalgam valley marked fuming outrage from the Indian fans. They were clueless that after such a gruesome attack, the government granted permission.
Anurag Thakur has issued a clarification that such contests are unavoidable, as they cannot withdraw from selective matches according to the norms of the Asia Cricket Council and the International Cricket Council.
Why is India compelled to face Pakistan in multi-national events?
"When multinational tournaments are organised by ACC or ICC, it becomes a compulsion, a necessity for nations to participate. If they don't do that, they will be eliminated from the tournament, they will have to forfeit the match, and the other team will get the points."
