India and Pakistan are scheduled to face each other at the
Asia Cup on September 14 and the Women's ODI World Cup on October 5.
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Mohsin Naqvi has stirred discussions regarding the upcoming India-Pakistan match. While some Indian citizens express reservations about the cricket encounter, Naqvi has taken a firm stance on future negotiations.
The
BCCI and Indian government have shown willingness to engage, but Naqvi has maintained distance. Earlier this year, both cricket boards agreed to compete at neutral venues. As a result, India will play Pakistan in Dubai during the Asia Cup despite India being the host nation.
Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW!The Indian Sports Ministry recently reaffirmed its position amid concerns about the upcoming match. While India will not participate in bilateral sports with Pakistan, they will continue to play in multi-nation tournaments.
"I think we are very clear that whenever talks are held, it will be on an equal footing with India, and there will be no more begging for negotiations. That time has passed, and whatever will happen will be on the basis of equality," Naqvi stated during a press conference in Lahore.
When India declined to play in Pakistan for the Champions Trophy, Naqvi reached an agreement with the ICC and BCCI. The deal included playing at neutral venues and secured PCB the hosting rights for a future ICC Women's tournament.
The situation has presented interesting dynamics between the cricket boards. While Pakistan couldn't host India at home, PCB achieved significant concessions despite BCCI's substantial contribution to ICC revenue.
