Ranvir shorey

ICC Champions Trophy: Bollywood actor Ranvir Shorey has weighed in on the debate surrounding cricketing ties between India and Pakistan, saying he has no objection to the two teams facing each other in multi-nation tournaments such as the Asia Cup.

In a casual interaction with IANS, Shorey clarified that while he remains opposed to the resumption of bilateral series between the arch-rivals, he sees no issue with their clashes on neutral grounds in international competitions.

“I have no problem with India playing Pakistan in the Asia Cup. Of course, there shouldn’t be a bilateral series with them. India is not going to Pakistan, and Pakistan is not coming here—that’s fine. Since the match is being played in a neutral country, there shouldn’t be any issue. After all, just like in the Olympics, if India faces Pakistan, you can’t deny that fixture,” Shorey said.
