The India vs Pakistan clash in the recently concluded Asia Cup 2025 led to immense controversy. The 8-team tournament culminated on September 28, with the Indian team not receiving the trophy at the hands of ACC Chief Mohsin Naqvi.
After the controversy over the trophy row and the sanctions on the players from both sides for having made controversial gestures as well as statements, which had to be escalated to the ICC panel, former English skipper Michael Atherton advised the International Cricket Council not to have any further India-Pakistan clashes till this issue is resolved.
"For the next broadcast rights cycle, the fixture draw before ICC events should be transparent, and if the two teams do not meet every time, so be it," he further added.
BCCI officials react to Atherton's claims with stern resistance
'It's easy to talk about all this, but will sponsors and broadcasters agree to it? In today's situation, if any major team, not just India, withdraws from a tournament, it will be difficult to attract sponsors,' the BCCI official told Dainik Jagran.
Pakistan will have to clear their stance ahead of the next year's ICC T20 World Cup 2026
India and Pakistan only meet during multilateral tournaments arranged by the ICC as well as the ACC. Hence, leaving bilaterals out of the quotient, it turns into a demand for the broadcasters to have a game scheduled between the two teams.
