There is a dispute between the two countries regarding the participation of Team India in the Champions Trophy to be held in Pakistan next year. Due to bad relations with Pakistan and terrorist incidents, the Indian government has not allowed Team India to go to Pakistan for the last 17 years and this is also coming in the way of the Champions Trophy. Now such a news has come from Pakistan, which is raising the question whether the situation is going to change. In fact, a Pakistani news channel has claimed that Indian Foreign Minister S Jaishankar has discussed cricket diplomacy with the Pakistani Foreign Minister. These days Jaishankar is on Pakistan tour for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) conference.

Journalist Faizan Lakhani of Pakistani news channel Geo News made a post on the social media platform 'X', in which it was claimed that the foreign ministers of the two countries discussed cricket diplomacy. It has also been claimed that formal discussions regarding cricket can start between the two countries soon.
