India are ready to take part in Cricket events in Asian Games for the first time
The Indian Cricket Board have already approved the participation of both the Men’s and Women’s team in this tournament. So, another India vs Pakistan rivalry awaits the fans. After that, the 50-over World Cup is all set to take place in India from 5 October. In that mega event, Rohit Sharma and his men will take on Babar Azam and his men on 15 October at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. So, there will be no shortage of action for the fans as these arch-rivals are all set to produce some outstanding games.
Recently, the Pakistan skipper, Babar Azam opened up about the hype around the upcoming World Cup clash between these teams. He said: “Pakistan cricket is being degraded. I've been hearing a lot. We are going to play in the World Cup, not to play against India. Barring India, there are other different teams whom we have to play against. If we can beat them, we will play in the final. Our focus is not on one team but all 10 of them. Our plan is to play well against all teams, win matches and then secure a ticket for the final.”
