ICC World Cup

In a twist of events, much-anticipated India vs Pakistan clash at the upcoming ICC World Cup is shrouded in intense suspense. The match, scheduled for October 15 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, hangs in the balance as the Pakistan team awaits a green signal from the government. The Prime Minister has formed a high-level committee to decide the team's participation in the prestigious tournament.


Ehsaan Mazari, Pakistan's Minister-in-charge of Sports and a committee member has made intense demands regarding the team's participation. Mazari has called for Pakistan matches to be shifted to a neutral venue.

Afridi claimed that the Pakistani cricket team bus was attacked with stones after winning a Test match against India in Bangalore back in 2005.


Interestingly, former cricketers are divided on the matter. While some believe the team should travel to India and embrace the challenge, others advocate for a neutral venue. Shahid Afridi, a former Pakistan all-rounder, expressed his support for participating in India and even suggested winning the World Cup, citing the similar playing conditions between the two countries.


Afridi's comments, made during a media interaction, quickly went viral on social media platforms. However, Indian fans wasted no time trolling the former Pakistan player. Many brought up the 2009 terrorist attack on the Sri Lankan team bus in Lahore, which resulted in injuries to cricketers and coaching staff. The incident led to a six-year hiatus in international cricket in Pakistan before Zimbabwe finally visited.

Former cricketers weigh in on the controversy.

The decision from the high-level committee and the subsequent ICC discussions will determine the outcome, with fans and players eagerly awaiting a resolution. The tension surrounding this marquee match highlights the historic rivalry between the two cricketing nations.
