Forget politics and hostility at the same time India and Pakistan

A video is doing the rounds on various social media platforms including ICC Twitter, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Twitter - Pakistan girls in the Indian dressing room after the Women's Twenty20 World Cup match. There the players of the two teams are exchanging greetings, talking in small groups.

At one stage the two groups were seen to be united. There was also an exchange of jerseys. The picture shows Indian captain Harmanpreet Kaur and Pakistan vice-captain Nidha Dar swapping jerseys with each other. The picture taken by the girls of the two groups is also floating on the internet.

ICC has actually told the meaning of cricket and the game! Such is the game. A little while ago, the players who competed fiercely on the field forgot about the loss and enjoyed the good story. The feeling is that what happened in the field a little while ago, it is nothing!

If the topic of politics comes up outside the game, then India-Pakistan relationship is like a pumpkin! Although India and Pakistan are neighboring countries, relations between India and Pakistan have been cold since long. India goes right and Pakistan goes left.

It is not that the effect of this hostility of the politics of the two countries did not fall into the game. India and Pakistan have not played a bilateral cricket series for over a decade. Both countries do not participate in friendly matches in any sport. Due to political animosity, the doors of bilateral series or friendly matches have been closed mainly by the Government of India.

India-Pakistan

• At one time the entire cricketing world was engrossed in the India-Pakistan fight. And now it is seen only in any ICC or ACC tournament. That too at a neutral venue. Let's take this year's Asia Cup ODI tournament. The tournament is scheduled to be held in Pakistan. But as the Indian government will not allow a team to be sent to Pakistan, a change of host is being considered
  Because of this, PCB has threatened that if India does not send a team to Pakistan for the Asia Cup, then they will not go to play the ODI World Cup in India. Meanwhile, India-Pakistan met again in the women's T20 World Cup. India defeated Pakistan by 7 wickets in that match in Cape Town, South Africa yesterday.

Pakistan players went to India's dressing room after the match showing a thumbs up to political animosity. They seem to have forgotten what happened in the field or the cold relationship between the two countries in terms of politics! This is the game, this is cricket, where politics also means defeat.
