Ahead of the India-Pakistan clash at the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 on Sunday at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, the tension filled the air at the pre-match press conference. Actually, a journalist tried to ask about whether the recent Asia Cup 2025 controversies could affect the women’s teams in the tournament.
The question was originally for Indian captain Harmanpreet Kaur, but she was not there, so it was directed to the bowling coach, Avishkar Salvi. The journalist asked if the bitterness from the Asia Cup 2025 might carry over to the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 clash in Colombo.

The journalist asked, as quoted by India Today, “I had a question for the Indian captain, but since you’re here, I’ll ask you instead. We’ve seen that the women’s teams of both Pakistan and India share good camaraderie, at least leading up to this World Cup. So, do you think the bitterness from the Asia Cup might carry over to the women’s teams as well?”
