The military conflict on the border between India and Pakistan has also affected the cricket of both the countries. There was a continuous demand to boycott the India-Pakistan match in Asia Cup 2025. Although both the teams clashed thrice on the field, there was tension in the atmosphere and every time there was some dispute or the other. After India, Pakistan has now entered into a fight with Afghanistan and its impact once again seems to be on cricket. According to a report, in view of the current fight, the challenge of organizing a three-nation T20 series has arisen before the Pakistan Cricket Board.
Recently a fight broke out on the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan. Pakistani Air Force carried out airstrike on Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan. Since then, there is a fierce battle on the Durand Line between Afghanistan and Pakistan and indiscriminate shelling is taking place. Where military confrontation has endangered the relations between the two countries. At the same time, even on the cricket field, relations between the two countries seem to be deteriorating.
Afghan team will not play with Pakistan?
In a report quoting PCB sources, it has been said that the board is looking for an alternative to another team in place of Afghanistan for the Tri-Nation series to be held next month. It has been reported in the report that PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi has asked ICC to look for another option because he wants to organize this T20 series at any cost. This T0 series is to be organized in Pakistan in the last 2 weeks of November, in which apart from the host team, Afghanistan and Sri Lanka are also to participate.
Due to this kind of restlessness of PCB, the question seems to arise whether after India, its bilateral cricket with Afghanistan will also be stopped? If this happens, will it affect the Asia Cup also because Pakistan’s relations with the two major teams of Asia will deteriorate.
Will PCB cheat Cricket Australia also?
Not only this, the report has also revealed that the Pakistani board is also discussing with Sri Lanka to organize a T20 series in the first week of January. If this series happens, it will get a good opportunity to prepare for the T20 World Cup 2026. But due to this PCB may have to face the displeasure of Cricket Australia. This is because during this time Big Bash League will be organized in Australia, in which many Pakistani players will participate. PCB had assured the Australian board that its players would be available for the entire tournament. In such a situation, this series can increase his problems.
