No Ban on India-Pakistan Match: BCCI
According to a report by news agency ANI, BCCI secretary said that the central government’s policy is clear — India can play against Pakistan in multinational tournaments. Saikia explained that Team India will not play bilateral series with Pakistan, but there is no restriction in multinational tournaments.
Saikia said, “As far as BCCI is concerned, we have to follow what the central government formally decides. Recently, the policy clearly states that there is no restriction on India’s participation in any multinational or international tournament. Even if India does not have good relations with a particular country, the team still has to play all matches in multinational tournaments.
The BCCI secretary also said that if India boycotts matches against Pakistan in multinational tournaments (ICC or Asian Cricket Council), then restrictions may be imposed on the team.
Saikia said, “If you think that India will boycott any multinational tournament organized by the Asian Cricket Council or ICC, or refuse to play against a country in other sports like FIFA tournaments, AFC tournaments, or athletics tournaments, then sanctions may be imposed on the Indian federation.”
