India vs Pakistan Tri-Series: The idea of ​​a tri-series or four-nation event between India and Pakistan is being considered. India and Pakistan haven't played a bilateral series since 2012.

Tri-series between India and Pakistan

India and Pakistan have not played a bilateral or tri-series match for a long time. India has consistently refused to play, which is why the two countries now face each other only in multilateral tournaments like the World Cup and Asia Cup. There is good news for cricket fans in both countries that India and Pakistan may face each other in a tri-series or multi-nation tournament.

The two countries last played a bilateral series in the 2012-13 season. Now, according to Pakistani media channel ARY News, the International Cricket Council (ICC) is considering plans for a multilateral series or tournament involving both India and Pakistan. This could be a tri-series or a four-team tournament.

The PCB has been demanding to play matches with Team India at neutral venues for a long time, but the BCCI has opposed it every time. The ICC will hold a seminar on the Future Tour Program on September 22nd and 23rd, before which a multi-nation series is being considered. It should be noted that all full members and eight associate members of the ICC will attend this seminar.

Discussion on India-Pakistan series

According to reports, the idea of ​​a tri-series or a four-team tournament could be presented at this seminar. The rationale behind this proposal is that it could generate better revenue and provide a significant earning opportunity for broadcasters and organizers. If this idea is approved, it could be held at a neutral venue such as the UAE, Australia, or England.

It's worth noting that both Pakistan and Bangladesh have been demanding a tri-series with India, but the ICC previously stated in a statement that deciding on such a series is not within its purview. The decision on which country to play is a personal decision of the respective board.

will not play with Pakistan

A few months ago, the Sports Ministry stated that bilateral series with Pakistan would not be played, but would adhere to the rules set by international sports federations. India and Pakistan will continue to face each other in multilateral events such as the Asia Cup and World Cup. However, a tri-series or a four-nation series could be a different idea.
