New delhi date. 20 October 2022, Thursday
The biggest rivalry in the world is the cricket match of India vs Pakistan and if this match is to be played on the soil of India or Pakistan, then its excitement is different. After Jai Shah's statement that the Indian team will not go to Pakistan in next year's Asia Cup, Pakistan has called an urgent meeting of the ACC and warned to pull out of the World Cup to be held in India. Until this is done, there will be no bilateral discussion and the other matter remains in limbo.
In this regard, Sports Minister Anurag Thakur said on Thursday that the Ministry of Home Affairs will take a decision regarding the visit of the Indian cricket team to Pakistan for the Asia Cup next year, but he feels that the chances of the players crossing the border are not high. However, Anurag Thakur is hoping that the Pakistan team will come to India to participate in the 50-over World Cup next year. May we, India, welcome everyone.
The issue arose when a BCCI circular mentioned that the Indian team could tour Pakistan for the Asia Cup 2023, but the team would have to seek permission from the government. Head too, he said on Tuesday that the Indian team will not tour Pakistan. The tournament will be played at a neutral venue.
A letter from PCB has also surfaced, in which it has been said that the ACC will have to meet soon in this matter. Apart from this, this decision of India may affect the participation of the Pakistan team in the ODI World Cup to be held in India next year.

On the controversy following Jai Shah's statement, Sports Minister Anurag Thakur while replying to reporters' questions said, “All the teams that have qualified for the World Cup have been invited (to compete on Indian soil). Many times Pakistani teams have come to play in India. I think India is not in a position to dictate and no one has any reason to do so. I hope all countries will come and compete"
"There are always possibilities," he continued about the Pakistan tour. Who would have thought that a disease like Corona will also come. Now anything can happen, but the chances of the Indian team going to Pakistan are not high. This is a decision that will be taken by the Home Ministry. Finally, the safety and security of the players is the most important thing. The government will decide on it.
