Bcci Writes to ICC: After the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, the Indian cricket team will no longer play a bilateral series with Pakistan.

On Tuesday, April 22, 2025, 26 people lost their lives in a terrorist attack in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir. According to the report of Cricbuzz, the BCCI has taken a big step and wrote a letter to the ICC and demanded that India and Pakistan not be kept in a group in any tournament.

According to media reports, the BCCI does not want to compete between India and Pakistan in the ICC tournament, at least not in the group stage. If both teams reach the semi -finals or finals, then there will be a different thing, but in the group stage, at least both teams should not be kept together. The next big ICC tournament is in September, in which India will host the Women’s ODI World Cup. The Pakistan women’s team has qualified for this.

India and Pakistan are currently involved in Group A, with them UAE and Hong Kong. Group B stars Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan and Oman.

The schedule is likely to come by May, but it will depend on what kind of coordination between BCCI and PCB. Actually Pakistan will not play its matches in India, in such a situation, neutral venue can be discussed. In a report, it has also been said that if there is tension between the two, then the tournament can also be canceled.
