Indian teams will not travel to Pakistan for bilateral sports events, says India’s Ministry of Sports.
India’s Ministry of Sports has announced that Indian teams will not travel to Pakistan for bilateral sporting events, making it clear that direct sports engagements between the two countries will remain suspended for the foreseeable future. At the same time, the ministry confirmed that Pakistani athletes and teams will still be eligible to participate in multinational tournaments hosted in India as part of international sporting obligations. Officials stated that bilateral contests between Pakistan and India are currently off the table, meaning neither Indian teams will tour Pakistan nor Pakistani teams will travel to India for one-on-one series or exclusive competitions. The policy reflects the continuing strain in political and sporting relations between the two neighbouring countries. The announcement has once again drawn attention to the long pause in cricketing ties between Pakistan and India. Since 2012, the two sides have not played a bilateral cricket series, with all major encounters taking place during ICC tournaments or at neutral venues arranged outside both countries. Despite the ongoing restrictions on bilateral sports, multinational events are expected to continue as both countries remain part of various international sporting bodies and competitions. Sports analysts believe the decision further highlights how political tensions continue to shape sporting relations in South Asia, especially in cricket, where matches between Pakistan and India remain among the most anticipated contests globally.
