The ODI World Cup will be held in India in October. And the government of the country will not give a no-objection letter to the Pakistan cricket team to participate in this World Cup. Geo News published such a report on Sunday.

It has been mentioned that the Pakistani government feels that their cricket team may not get adequate security when they play in India. Because of that, they did not agree to give a no-objection letter. With that, Pakistan’s participation in the ODI World Cup has hung in the pendulum. Why does the Pakistani government not consider the cricket team safe in India? The country’s government feels that the tour could be risky for the Pakistan team given the current atrocities against Muslims in India and the cornering of the Muslim population by Hindu extremists. Besides, there is a long-standing political conflict between the two countries.

An official of the Pakistani government, who did not reveal his name, said, “Muslims in India are currently suffering brutal atrocities. Especially extremist Hindus are doing various atrocities and torture on the Muslim community. There is nothing they are not doing to spread hatred against Muslims. At such a time we cannot allow our cricket team to go there to play in the World Cup. Besides, we are worried about the security of the Pakistan team. We also have concerns about India’s security system. So we cannot allow our cricket team to play there.

However, cricket pundits feel that India has balked at hosting the Asia Cup in Pakistan. In response, Pakistan threw jute.2023 Asia Cup host Pakistan. They rant to host the Asia Cup at home. But India does not want to go there citing security reasons. As per the discussion of the last meeting of the Asian Cricket Council, the Asia Cup is going to be held at a neutral venue and not in Pakistan. On the other hand, Pakistan wants to organize it in its own country in September. PPakistan’sgovernment may have taken this decision to create pressure on India. That is if Pakistan cannot host the Asia Cup in its own country if India does not come to Pakistan to play. Then Pakistan will also not go to participate in the ODI World Cup to be held in India.
