The dispute between India and Pakistan (IND vs PAK) is not new. Every day one or the other dispute is seen between the two countries. A similar situation is also being seen in the cricket world, where things are getting worse instead of improving. There is no reconciliation between the two teams, even on the cricket field. The ODI World Cup will be played in India this year, and Pakistan has created a new controversy. Let us understand it in some detail.
Pakistan Will Not Play in The World Cup In India
There is a lot of controversy regarding the match between India and Pakistan (IND vs PAK). PCB says that if Team India comes to Pakistan to play in Asia Cup 2023, only their team will go to India. In response, BCCI has clarified that Team India will not go there, but all the matches with India will be played at neutral venues.
As of now, according to the information, this thing has been decided. Meanwhile, PCB has started a new trick. The Pakistan Cricket Board says that their team will not go to India to play the World Cup 2023; instead, Pakistan will play all its matches not in India but at a neutral venue.
ICC General Manager Wasim Khan said, “Pakistan can play all its World Cup matches at a neutral venue outside India.”

Please tell that Wasim Khan has also been the former CEO of PCB. Perhaps he would have given such a statement being a citizen of Pakistan.
The Last Bilateral Series Was Held in 2013
Significantly, the last bilateral series between India and Pakistan (IND vs PAK) occurred during 2012-13. Since then till now, there has been no series between the two teams. Due to political ties, the two teams meet in ICC tournaments or the Asia Cup. Both teams last met in the T20 World Cup 2022, where Team India defeated Pakistan. In the coming time, both teams can face each other in the Asia Cup.
