The sports ministry has confirmed that India will not play bilateral matches with Pakistan. The teams will only meet in multilateral tournaments such as those organised by the ICC and the ACC.
Not a New Policy
While the move is being presented as a bold decision, many in the public have called it hypocritical. India has not played a bilateral series with Pakistan for over a decade, making the announcement nothing new.
Public Calls It PR Strategy
Critics say this is just a rebranded PR exercise. Instead of repeating an existing policy, many believe India should use BCCI’s influence to boycott multilateral events where Pakistan participates.
Anticipation Ahead of Asia Cup
With political tensions running high, public reactions will be closely watched when India and Pakistan face off in the upcoming Asia Cup. The clash could spark further debate on the effectiveness of this policy.
