There are constant statements from Pakistan

There are many reactions in Pakistan on the news whether the Indian team will come there or not. Pakistan wants the Indian team to come there to play, because if this does not happen, the event may be in trouble.

BCCI wants its matches to be held in some other country (Sri Lanka or UAE) on a hybrid model. Pakistan is opposing this. If all the matches are not held in Pakistan, then PCB may have to suffer financial losses.

India and Pakistan have not played any bilateral series since 2012-13 due to political tensions. Team India last visited Pakistan for the 2008 Asia Cup.
