Most Indian fans want the Indian team not to play against Pakistan in the Asia Cup. Let us know that Team India does not already play bilateral series with Pakistan, both teams only clash in the ICC or Asia Cup tournament. Meanwhile, a statement of a UAE official has come about this match.
A few days ago, India Champions, captained by Yuvraj Singh at the World Championship of Legends, refused to play with Pakistan. In the first league stage again, India’s decision was adamant in a big match like semi -finals, as a result, Pakistan got a place in the final without playing. Indian fans were seen in two parts about this. Most of the people were in support of this decision, so many fans also believed that India should have defeated by playing with Pakistan.
What do fans want about the India-Pakistan match in the Asia Cup?
The biggest contest in the Asia Cup starting on 9 September is India vs Pakistan, which is to be held in Dubai on 14 September. Both teams are included in the same group. Most Indian fans are demanding that Team India should not play with Pakistan in this tournament. By the way, let us know that there is not only a matter of group stage, India can enter Super 4 even after playing in it, but then the decision in Super 4 is the same, then it can harm Team India. If India and Pakistan reach the final, then within a month, there will be a fight between these two.
What did the UAE board official say?
Speaking to ‘The National’, Chief Operating Officer of Emirates Cricket Board, Subhan Ahmed said, ‘We cannot give any guarantee, but it is not right to compare the Asia Cup with a private event like World Championship of Legends. Government permission is taken before deciding to play in the Asia Cup. This has definitely been done before announcing the schedule of countries. So it is expected that we will not be in a WCL -like situation.
