In the latest chapter of the cricket rivalry between India and Pakistan, both nations have reportedly decided against touring each other’s countries due to ongoing political and diplomatic tensions. This decision underscores the strained relations that continue to impact bilateral cricketing ties.
India has consistently maintained its stance of not touring Pakistan, citing security concerns. Similarly, Pakistan has now indicated that it will not travel to India for any bilateral series. These decisions follow a series of impasses over neutral venues and hybrid models for ICC and ACC tournaments.
This stalemate has disappointed cricket fans worldwide, who have been eagerly hoping for the resumption of bilateral matches. For now, encounters between the two sides remain limited to ICC and ACC events held at neutral venues.
The continued impasse highlights how geopolitical issues extend beyond diplomacy, affecting the spirit of the game and fan enthusiasm.
