The International Cricket Council (ICC) has made it clear that they can’t force India to play bilateral series with Pakistan. They, however, made it clear that in the ICC tournaments they can’t opt out to play against each other.

“If India is not ready to play with Pakistan, we can’t force them to do so,” Dave Richardson said. “You have to understand that bilateral series is always held with the agreement of two cricket boards.”

“Tough we would like to see India and Pakistan play bilateral matches they have political tensions and any cricket is dependent on their existing relations,” he further added.

Richardson insisted that ICC is neutral on the issue. He also rejected claims that it has leaning towards India. The ICC’s CEO also said that the existing situation doesn’t seem proper to resume bilateral ties.
