Wasim Akram’s Support for Team India
Currently, the excitement of the Twenty20 World Cup is on. Four teams – South Africa, England, India, and Afghanistan – have reached the semi-finals. India’s arch-rival Pakistan also failed to make it to the Super-8. But, the neighboring country has already started preparations for next year’s Champions Trophy. Former player Wasim Akram seems to have given emotional support to Team India while there was a discussion about whether the Indian team will go to Pakistan. The Champions Trophy 2025 will be held in Pakistan as per the scheduled schedule. However, due to security reasons, India has often opposed sending its team to the neighboring country.

Akram’s Hope for India’s Participation
Asia Cup 2023 was hosted by Pakistan. However, the BCCI insisted on playing India’s matches at neutral venues. Accordingly, the Indian team won the title by playing matches on the soil of Sri Lanka. Pakistan legend Wasim Akram said that I hope that Team India will come to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy. Our entire country is ready to welcome them. Cricket is a very good sport and is popular in both the countries. We will provide better facilities to the Indian team… Apart from this, work on new grounds is underway. The Pakistan Cricket Board president is working hard to build a new ground. This work is going on in Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad. So all the countries should come to Pakistan for the upcoming Champions Trophy. Cricket and politics are two different sides. Akram was talking to a news channel.

The History and Future of India-Pakistan Cricket
Meanwhile, there has been no bilateral series between India and Pakistan since the terrorist attack on India’s financial capital, Mumbai. Since 2012, these arch-rivals have met only in Asia Cup and ICC tournaments. The last Test match between India and Pakistan was in 2007.
Wasim Akram further said that overall everything is ready. All the citizens of Pakistan will welcome the Indian team. Our entire team looks forward to welcoming Team India, dignitaries and media representatives. I hope the Indian team will come here to experience the good facilities we have in Pakistan.
