Where do India and Pakistan go from here?
Hindustan Times Bengaluru
|October 01, 2025
On October 5, India and Pakistan meet again for the fourth time in less than three weeks to play a cricket match.
At the ICC Women's World Cup 2025, with India as hosts. The match will be played in Sri Lanka because well... Moot question: will there be handshakes? If handshakes are banned, should captains exchange the team sheets only through the referee? What if the exchange leads to Indian hands accidently touching Pakistani? Will that be a gross violation of BCCI’s new Patriot Act? Is eye contact going to be measured too?
Now that the men on both sides have shown off their muscular nationalism, are the women cricketers now duty bound to continue with this tin-can opera? Or have host broadcasters decided that snarling women can’t match bearded, tattooed men making faces?
Where does India and Pakistan cricket go from here? After the Asia Cup, neither has any moral high ground left in cricket. If neither side or their ‘elders’ believe they owe the sport itself basic respect when the two get together, why bother to play at all?

His noble soul remains country’s inner monitor
I have no memories of the great man. As a two-three year old, I was lucky enough to have seen Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel many times. Including on his last birthday, on October 31, 1950, when my parents took me to his home to greet him and join a two-family photo-op. But all those real ‘sightings’ as I would like to think of them, have been wiped off my mind's screens.
