India has not played any bilateral series with Pakistan in the last era. However, the two teams met regularly in ICC events. Now that too is uncertain. The next ICC global tournament Champions Trophy will be held in Pakistan. But India is not willing to go to Pakistan in any way.
As a result, the fate of the Champions Trophy hangs in the balance. The ICC held a meeting to take a final decision on this issue on Friday (November 29). But the boards of the two countries could not reach any agreement there. They are scheduled to sit in a virtual meeting again on Saturday (November 30).
And for this whole situation, the former wicketkeeper of Pakistan, Kamran Akmal, has expressed his anger on India. He referred to India's behavior as duplicitous.
Because Pakistan visited India in 2016 and 2023 to play global tournaments. But Kamran expressed anger that India has been 'secretive' on this issue. Recalling this while talking to media outlet Telecom Asia Sport, he said, 'I am very disappointed that Pakistan played the 2016 World Cup in India, but their match was shifted from Dharamshala to Kolkata. Last year also played in Ahmedabad as they wanted. Pakistan should be tough to change this situation. Which will also create a good image of Pakistan.'
In today's meeting, Kamran said, "ICC takes a temporary decision, I think it's time for a permanent solution." If this year's Champions Trophy goes to the hybrid model and India does not come to play in Pakistan, then all the ICC events in India will have to be organized in the same model. Then Pakistan will no longer play in India. Even the ICC not holding any Indo-Pak matches until the two countries play a bilateral series could be a solution. If they agree to bilateral matches, a multi-nation tournament can be organised.'
After this, the star who played 268 international matches for Pakistan expressed his anger by pointing out that India is being duplicitous. On the one hand, India is not willing to play in Pakistan because of political issues, and on the other hand, they want us to go and play on their soil, this is their double standard. '
