‘It’s not in the hands of the boards. At world tournaments. Both teams play each other. Bilateral cricket between the two teams has been suspended for years. This is something that needs to be worked out between the respective governments. This is not in the hands of Ramis or me, ”Ganguly explained.
Due to the ongoing political tensions between arch-rivals India and Pakistan, the two have only met in ICC tournaments. Fans are eagerly awaiting for the head-to-head match between the two as the fights of the arch-rivals have so far presented fans with exciting moments. There was no shortage of excitement for this match as well.
In the first match of Super 12, India lost by 10 wickets to Pakistan. It was Pakistan’s first victory over India in the World Cup.
Murali Vijay | Kovid not ready to be vaccinated; Tamil Nadu cricket excludes Murali Vijay
Former India opener Murali Vijay has been left out of the Tamil Nadu squad for the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy cricket tournament as he is not ready to accept the Kovid vaccine. The BCCI stipulates that players on the team must take two doses of Kovid vaccine and remain in the bio-bubble. But Murali Vijay refused to comply.
The BCCI’s position is to encourage players to receive the Kovid vaccine. But it is up to the players to make the final decision on whether to adopt the vaccine. Getting vaccinated is a personal decision. But Murali Vijay is reluctant to get the vaccine, BCCI sources said.
Players are required to enter the Bio Bubble within a week of the start of the tournament. But Murali Vijay did not join the team. With this, the Tamil Nadu team announced the omission of Murali. Even if Murali Vijay returns after receiving the vaccine and is ready to stay in the bubble, the selection will be considered only after proving his fitness.
Murali Vijay last played cricket in the 2020 IPL season. Murali Vijay has played domestic cricket for Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. Murali Vijay last played for India in an international match in December 2018 against Australia.
