Former Cricketer and cricket commentator Aakash Chopra criticised ICC for not holding any match against India and Pakistan in WTC 2023-25 season. He said one couldn’t even imagine an international event without India vs Pakistan battle on his official Youtube channel.
Akash Chopra said:
“You don’t play against all teams. But this is WTC, it’s an ICC event. It has been 4 years now can you imagine an ICC event without India vs Pakistan? This can never happen. It’s always at the start of the tournament so it gets off to a great start commercially. It gets the highest rating and people make money,” said Aakash.

“So, is WTC not an ICC event? It’s an ICC mace, they host the final. So, all the matches that take place in the cycle should be in the purview of the ICC. It will be 6 years, and you didn’t have a single India-Pakistan series. This is also an ICC event. If it’s not, make it clear. Call it bilateral cricket and accept that you have made WTC just to glamorize Tests,” he added.
