It is worth noting that the bilateral series between India and Pakistan is not organized. The Pakistan board has suffered a lot due to the Indian team not playing. The matter was also taken up with the ICC and there Pakistan had to face defeat. However, in ICC events, the teams of both countries have been playing against each other continuously. In the T20 World Cup held in UAE last year, there was a match between the teams of India and Pakistan in which the Pakistani team won. Pakistan team defeated Team India for the first time in World Cup history.

India plays against Pakistan only in multi-nation tournaments like the Asia Cup and the World Cup. "The ICCs Financial and Commercial Affairs Committee (F&CA) was against this proposal," a board member said. As we know that MPA (Member Participation Agreement) does not allow any member nation to host a tournament of more than three countries. Such a plan will have an impact on major ICC tournaments (ODI and T20 World Cup)."
