News: 'India shouldn’t play Pakistan in the World Cup'

In the wake of the terror attack in Pulwama, where at least 40 Central Reserve Police Force personnel were killed on Thursday, Cricket Club of India secretary Suresh Bafna on Sunday said that India should not play against Pakistan in the upcoming World Cup. Bafna said that since Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has not come out openly about the attack in Kashmir, it shows that they are at fault somewhere. The 2019 World Cup will be held in England and Wales from May 30 to July 14 and India are scheduled to take on Pakistan on June 16 at Old Trafford. After the terror attack, the CCI had covered the portrait of Imran Khan at their Brabourne stadium headquarters in Mumbai. The secretary said that the step was their way of condemning the barbaric attack on the country's security personnel.
