Sports Ministry’s massive statement on India-Pakistan Asia Cup clash

As the Asia Cup 2025 is around the corner, the Sports Ministry has given a massive statement regarding India-Pakistan clashes.

India and Pakistan will not engage in any sort of bilateral sporting clashes, but the cricket team will not be stopped from playing the multi-lateral Asia Cup next month, the Sports Ministry said on Thursday.

This new policy has been released with regard to India’s international engagements. Considering the current relations between India and Pakistan, sources said it is effective immediately.

“India’s approach to sports events involving Pakistan reflects its overall policy in dealing with that country. In so far as bilateral sports events in each other’s country are concerned, Indian teams will not be participating in competitions in Pakistan. Nor will we permit Pakistani teams to play in India,” states the ministry policy.

However, the multilateral engagements will not be affected. “We will not stop Indian cricket team from playing in Asia Cup as it is multilateral. But Pakistan will not be allowed on Indian soil for bilateral competitions. But we will not stop them from multilateral events as we will abide by Olympic Charter,” the ministry source said.

“We will examine the case before deciding anything. Even in multi-lateral events, we can’t leave our athletes in lurch. After all it’s a country that has no hesitation in declaring that its a dumpster and can hit the shining Mercedes that is India,” source said when asked about Indian team being allowed to travel to Pakistan for any competition.
