“We Are Not…” in response to playing in the World Cup in India
One of the bloodiest encounters with Pakistan occurred when terrorists from a Lashkar-e-Taiba affiliate opened fire on a group of unwary visitors in the picturesque Baisaran meadows in Pahalgam.Strong responses have been received from all sides following the April 22 terrorist incident in Pahalgam, which claimed the lives of 26 civilians. In the picturesque meadows of Baisaran in Pahalgam, terrorists from a Lashkar-e-Taiba affiliate opened fire on a party of unwary tourists, leading to one of the most horrific confrontations with Pakistan. The incident’s effects are also being felt on the cricket field.In order to prevent India and Pakistan from being placed in the same group at upcoming international competitions (such as the World Cup and the Champions Trophy), there have been rumors that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) may write to the ICC. However, a report on Cricbuzz refuted the assertion.
This year, there are no significant men’s ICC events planned. India will host the 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup in September and October. According to previous agreements, Pakistan would play its games at a neutral location after qualifying for the major event. Gull Feroza, the opener for the Pakistan women’s cricket team and a member of the team that participated in the ICC Women’s World Cup qualifier, made a shocking statement in the midst of this.”We are not playing in India, and we are aware that we will be playing in Asian circumstances. This is evident. We also don’t want to play in India,” she said to a PakPassion.
Therefore, the conditions are comparable to those found in Asia, regardless of where it is played—ideally in Dubai or Sri Lanka. The staff prepared tracks for the Qualifiers, which were held at home. The conditions will be comparable to those at home wherever the World Cup matches are held. As a result, we are prepared for that and will prepare accordingly.”Additionally, the BCCI has stated unequivocally that they will abide by the rules set down by the government when playing cricket with India. “We denounce it and stand with the victims. We shall follow our government’s instructions. We don’t play in bilateral series with Pakistan due to the government’s stance. And moving forward, we will not engage in bilateral relations with Pakistan. However, because to ICC engagement, we play in ICC events. Sports Tak was informed by BCCI Vice-President Rajeev Shukla that “ICC is also aware of whatever is happening and they will do it (sic).”
