The Pakistani government has been mulling over sending a team to India and has now made a final decision. The deliberations began last October when India refused to send a team to this year’s Cricket Asia Cup in Pakistan .In response, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Rameez Raja, the country’s cricket governing body, said he would not send a team to the World Cup in India. The Asia Cup, which is a precursor to the World Cup, was eventually agreed upon after discussions, with Pakistan playing four matches on the 30th and the remaining nine matches, including the final, in Sri Lanka .The last time a Pakistani cricket team visited India was in 2016 for the ICC World T20.Pakistan, which seceded from India in 1947 when India broke away from British colonial rule, has had hostile relations with India, having fought three wars over the sovereignty of Kashmir. Born in England in the 16th century, cricket is the most popular sport in South Asia and is considered the “national sport” in both India and Pakistan.
