Delhi: It has been more than a decade for the last bilateral cricket series between India and Pakistan. Due to political issues, matches between these two teams are now seen only in the multinational tournament. The last bilateral series between India and Pakistan was played in 2012-13, when Pakistan visited India.
Last tour in 2005-06
Team India last visited Pakistan in 2005-06. Pakistan often expresses desire to play bilateral series from India, but there was never a positive response from India. The main reason is tension on the border.
Big thing of Sunil Gavaskar
When recently Team India veteran Sunil Gavaskar was asked about this, he said in the Pakistani cricket show ‘Dressing Room’ that until there is peace on the border, it is not possible to talk about the restoration of bilateral cricket relations between the two countries.
Gavaskar said, “To be honest, if there will be peace on the border, then I think both governments will say,” Look, no incident has happened now, so why not start with talks. “
Peace is necessary on the border
He further said, “I am sure that some contacts must be happening on the back-channel, but we have to see what is happening on the ground and outside. Because we keep getting news of infiltration. This is the reason that the Indian government is saying, ‘We should not think about doing anything or talking until all this stops. “
The Champions Trophy held in Pakistan and UAE was to be held only in Pakistan only, but after the BCCI refused to send its team to Pakistan, the ICC conducted it on a hybrid model. Now this tournament is being played in both Pakistan and UAE.
