Mohammad Azharuddin questions green light for IND vs PAK Asia Cup match: ‘Shouldn't happen at all…’

Former India captain Mohammad Azharuddin shared a shared his displeasure on India - Pakistan match in the Asia Cup getting thd green light after it was recently confired that the arch rivals have been put in the same group at the tournament will face each other on 14 September. Notably, India are the official hosts of the tournament but it will be held in UAE from 9 September to 28 September. 

Speaking to media about the Asia Cup match, Azharuddin seemed to be calling out the double standards of the Indian cricket board, stating that if the two teams do not play each other for bilateral matches, they should also not compete in multilateral tournaments. 

"I always say that everything should happen, or if it does not happen, then it should not happen at all. If you're not playing bilateral matches, then you shouldn't play international events too, that's what I believe. But whatever the government and the board decide will happen...". Azharuddin said.
