India’s cricket world is deeply hurt and angry after a deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir. Many people, including the cricket fraternity have spoken up, but one voice stood out and that was of the former India U19 player Shreevats Goswami. He made a strong demand to cut all cricket ties with Pakistan. Shreevats Goswami’s Strong Message Shreevats tweeted on his X (formerly Twitter) handle, urging a total boycott of cricket against Pakistan. He responded after the attack was attributed to The Resistance Front (TRF), a faction associated with Pakistan-based terror organization LeT. He posted that he had recently visited Pahalgam and believed peace was coming back to the region. Witnessing violence creep back in left him in shock and dismay. His post was emotional, and fans rallied behind his call. In the tweet, Goswami wrote: "And this is exactly why I say - you don't play cricket with Pakistan. Not now. Not ever. When BCCI or the government refused to send India to the Champions Trophy in Pakistan, some had the audacity to say, 'Oh, but sport should rise above politics. Murdering innocent Indians seems to be Pakistan's national sport and India should respond with zero tolerance and not with bats and balls."

The two nations only face each other in ICC tournaments. But even then, the BCCI has been adamant, they won't send teams to Pakistan. For the 2025 Champions Trophy, India declined to go to Pakistan. Instead of going there, India will host its matches in Dubai. Neutral Venues for Pakistan Matches India is also hosting the Women's World Cup this year in October. As before, Pakistan's matches will be played at a neutral ground. Both cricket boards had agreed earlier that Pakistan will not play in India, and India will not travel to Pakistan until at least 2028. This move indicates the cricket board taking a firm position after the Pahalgam incident. Several people feel that it is the correct decision during such a critical period.
