Pakistan Cricketers Express Disappointment Over Gavaskar's Remarks Amid Rising Indo-Pak Tensions
Indus Water Treaty: Several former Pakistani cricketers, led by legendary batter Javed Miandad, have expressed deep disappointment over recent comments made by Indian cricket icon Sunil Gavaskar regarding Pakistan’s participation in the upcoming Asia Cup.
Gavaskar, speaking to a news channel, indicated that given the current political climate, it was highly unlikely Pakistan would take part in the tournament, co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka. He noted that the BCCI traditionally follows the Indian government's directives, suggesting that political tensions might prevent Pakistan’s inclusion in the event.
Tensions between the two nations have flared following a deadly attack on tourists in Kashmir, which left 26 dead. India has blamed Pakistan for supporting the terrorists, suspended the long-standing Indus Water Treaty, and hinted at broader retaliatory actions.
