'India should not even play Pakistan at ICC activities …': Gautam Gambhir declares after the terrorist attack

On Tuesday, Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir completely stopped the participation of Pakistan with Pakistan in any forum, including the Asian Cup and ICC events after the expensive terrorist attack. At an ABP event, Gambhir said that the national team should not play belt rivals until cross -border terrorism ends. India has not played against Pakistan since 2007 due to tense relations between the two countries. Gambhir, they play each other only in a lot of team events and even said that it should be stopped.

“My personal answer is absolutely no. Not all this (cross -border terrorism) does not stop, nothing should happen between India and Pakistan.

In a terrorist attack on April 22 in the town of Southern Kashmir, 26 people, mostly tourists were shot.

Responding to the terrible event, India announced various measures against Pakistan, including the suspension of the Treaty of Indus Waters, the closure of a single land border crossing in Attari, and reducing diplomatic ties in terms of cross -border connections.

“Ultimately this is the call of the government of our play or playing them. I have already said this, no jacking match or Bollywood or another interaction is more important than the life of Indian soldiers and Indian citizens.” He said.

“The matches will continue, the movies will be shot, the singers will continue to perform, but nothing is approaching to lose someone who is loved in your family.” In particular, Gambhir, BCCI and the government, who wanted India to play Pakistan in the Asian Cup this year or to be jointized by India and Sri Lanka in the T20 World Cup next year.

“This is not up to me, but more importantly, the government decides whether we need to play them.

He continued: “No matter what, no matter what, we must be good and not politicized.” In the last Champions Cup, India played all its games in Dubai and hosted Pakistan for security concerns.

As a part of an agreement between the BCCI, Pakistan Cricket Board and the ICC, all India-Pakistan matches in ICC events will be played in an neutral country until the 2027 cycle.
