No issue from PCB

The India-Pakistan rivalry is famous in almost everywhere. When it comes to cricket, this is one of the greatest and age-old rivalries. The World Cup match between India and Pakistan has the ability to attract more audience than the World Cup final. While it is hard for the fans to accept defeat in an India-Pakistan match, the players have been loved by then across the borders. Such is the beauty of this rivalry. But the ICC events are the only chance when the cricket lovers get to see India and Pakistan facing each other. Since 2013, India and Pakistan have not played any bilateral cricket. Tension at the border has been a vital reason behind the same. But there have been talks from time to time to resume the cricket connection between the two neighbouring countries.
