This time there seems to be a tough situation between India and Pakistan regarding cricket. For the last several years, both the teams have been seen playing only in ICC or ACC events. Now this situation also seems to be changing in the coming times and if the situation remains like this then there will be no competition between the two teams in these events also. The reason for this is the conflict over the Champions Trophy, which now seems to be reaching a stalemate. After the Board of Control for Cricket in India's refusal to send Team India to Pakistan, the Pakistan Cricket Board also seems to be adopting a stubborn stance. According to the reports of Pakistani media, if the Indian team does not go to Pakistan, then Pakistan will not play against Team India in any upcoming tournament.

Champions Trophy is to be organized in Pakistan in February-March next year but from the beginning there was doubt about Team India's participation in it. The Indian team has not toured Pakistan for the last 16-17 years and this time also the situation remains the same. BCCI recently told ICC through an email that the Government of India has refused to send Team India for the Champions Trophy in view of security concerns in Pakistan. Now ICC has informed the Pakistani board about this stand of the Indian board in an email.

PCB said on Sunday, November 10 that it has received information from the ICC about the decision of the Indian Cricket Board. PCB said in a statement that it has sent this mail from ICC to the Pakistan government and has sought advice from the government. The Pakistani board did not say anything more than this, but it is being claimed in the local media that the government has decided to take a tough stance in this matter.

Pakistani journalist Faizan Lakhani, in a post on 'X', has quoted sources as saying that the Pakistan government has decided that until the Indian team is sent to Pakistan, it will not represent Team India in any upcoming tournament. Will not play any matches together. If both the teams clash in the knock out match of that tournament then the Pakistani team will refuse to play that match also.
