India Will Not Play With Pakistan, BCCI Writes to ICC After Pahalgam Attack.
India Will Not Play With Pakistan – After the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, the Indian cricket team will not play any more bilateral series with Pakistan. Both the teams only face each other in ICC tournaments or ACC tournaments, but after the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, BCCI has taken another big decision and has also written a letter to ICC in this regard. On 22 April 2025, a terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, left 26 people dead.
The BCCI took a major step and wrote a letter to the ICC demanding that India and Pakistan not be placed in the same group in any tournament. The BCCI no longer wants India and Pakistan to face each other in ICC tournaments, at least not in the group stage. If both the teams reach the semi-finals or final, then it will be a different story, but at least in the group stage, both the teams should not be kept together.
The next big ICC tournament will be in September. India will host the Women’s ODI World Cup. The Pakistan women’s team has qualified for it. The next ICC tournament in men’s cricket will be played between February and March 2026. India and Sri Lanka will host the T20 World Cup in it. However, before that, the BCCI will have to worry about the Asia Cup. The men’s cricket Asia Cup is also going to be held this year.

It is likely to feature two matches between India and Pakistan. India and Pakistan are currently in Group A, along with the UAE and Hong Kong. Group B has Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, and Oman. India is the host of the Asia Cup. The entire tournament is likely to be held at a neutral venue. It remains to be seen whether India and Pakistan will be in the same group in the Asia Cup or not, as the schedule for the tournament is yet to be announced. The schedule could come by May, but it will depend on the coordination between the BCCI and the PCB.
