BCCI's stern attitude, Pakistani players will not get a place in this team
Given the current situation of India and Pakistan, it is believed that there will be no Pakistani player in this match.
Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) is going to celebrate the birth centenary of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founder of Bangladesh and popularly known as ‘Bangabandhu’, and on this occasion, he will organize two T20 matches between Asia XI and World XI in March. It is being said that the ICC has given official status to this match. Given the current situation of India and Pakistan in this situation, it is believed that there will be no Pakistani player in this match.
Pakistani player will not be invited
BCCI joint secretary Jayesh George clarified in a conversation with IANS that a situation where India and Pakistan players play in the Asia XI will not arise here because no Pakistani player will be invited for this.
He said, ‘We are aware that there will be no Pakistan player in Asia XI. This is the message and therefore, there is no question of the players of the two countries coming together or choosing each other. Sourav Ganguly will decide the five players who will be part of Asia XI.
In recent times, the cricket atmosphere between India and Pakistan has worsened when Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief Ehsan Mani said that the security situation in India is worse than Pakistan.
At the same time, former Pakistan captain and wicketkeeper Rashid Latif has rubbished the idea of Sourav Ganguly, the BCCI president of the proposed tournament of four countries. When Ganguly sends players for the Asia XI and World XI matches, they will definitely have such things in his mind.
