The Dilemma of India Traveling to Pakistan
India and Pakistan don’t have good political relationships and because of the same reasons both countries don’t play any bilateral series against each other. BCCI has also decided that Team India not travel to Pakistan for any cricket tournaments.
However, discussions are still underway on whether India will play in the Champions Trophy in Pakistan or not. No concrete decision has taken place as of now.
