Yes that's right. Sometimes the type of pitch varies in different cricket loving countries due to soil conditions, environmental or weather conditions. New Zealand, England pitches are almost similar whereas Australia South Africa and West Indies pitches are similar i.e. they make their cricket ground pitches mainly pace friendly. So that their team's fast bowlers get an extra advantage while bowling. On the other hand, spin friendly pitches are made in most of the cricket-loving countries of the Indian subcontinent, i.e. South Asia, because spin bowlers dominate in these countries.
Moreover, there is a country in South Asia where pace bowlers dominate, that country is Pakistan. One bowler of Pakistan was Shoaib Akhtar who is world famous and even till now his ball speed is highest in the cricket world.
But now the situation is changing, Asian teams who used to rely heavily on spin bowlers and spin bowlers used to win matches are now relying more on fast bowlers. I will take the example of Bangladesh here, I have seen that at one time Bangladesh played with only one fast bowler and other four spin bowlers, Bangladesh now field three to four regular first bowlers. This means that Asian teams are trying to keep pace with African, Australian or European teams because now most of the big tournaments are held outside Asia so if there is more reliance on spin bowlers then spin bowlers cannot play a major role in winning matches. Moreover, there is a country in South Asia where pace bowlers dominate, that country is Pakistan. One bowler of Pakistan was Shoaib Akhtar who is world famous and even till now his ball speed is highest in the cricket world.
India now has world class fast bowlers Bangladesh has good quality fast bowlers Pakistan has best fast bowlers like Shahina Afridi, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf so now any team can challenge any team.
Historically, we will have three countries usually depend on spinners India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh with Pakistan is always having mix things for all formats but recently Pakistani bowlers are having lack of quality which is hurting them badly they need to rethink about their domestic system and other related system for having improvement into their fast bowling department.
There is no official news thus far and everyone on social media speculating that India might not play in Pakistan. It is still to be seen whether India will participate in the ICC Champion Trophy or not. Pakistan, on the other hand, does not want to have a neutral venue for Indian matches. Let's wait for the official announcement from BCCI or PCB regarding this matter.
India should be part of the ICC Champions Trophy, as they are the hot favourite to win the Trophy because of the sub-continent conditions. Fingers crossed for positive news.

It's not just speculation. Some of the BCCI officials have already made it clear that they are not going to travel to Pakistan. So the ICC and the PCB has two options with them - either move the entire tournament out of Pakistan, or to have a hybrid mode with India's matches being played at the United Arab Emirates. I guess they will opt for the second one, as it will be the less damaging option. Conducting the tournament without India will be meaningless, as they will not get any revenue out of it.
Pakistani cricket is doing good, and they are surely can do good in future without playing against India in all level.

Karaikal knights played a bad match and white town giants played a very good match scoring a lot of runs and wining the match. White town giants played a very good match and they had paid off with won. White town giants played exceptionally well and emerged victorious with a splendid performance on the field. Their hard work determination truly paid off in this match. The best bowling performance in the white town giants was showed by Bhupender Chauhan. I hope they will play better in the next match for karaikal knights.

Media always having important role in Pakistan and India links because we all know India usually use this for having good pressure on Pakistan and this always works for them as well in recent time we have too much talk about PCB will not send their team for the ODI world cup which held in India but at the end we have change of PCB chief and Pakistani team and also in India currently off the field we are having nothing but on media we are having good hype about India will be not visiting Pakistan for the Champions Trophy. So, most chances at the end, we will have same thing because Pakistan is currently facing too many internal issues which means they can't afford to do anything against this.India should be part of the ICC Champions Trophy, as they are the hot favourite to win the Trophy because of the sub-continent conditions. Fingers crossed for positive news.
Still, one thing is sure if we have India in Pakistan for the Champions Trophy most chances they could be ended as champions because recently we are having India play good under pressure out of the India and this always works for them so they need to do this but most chances the Modi government will never allow them to visit Pakistan.
As I heard the PCB is already preparing for the Asia Cup to be hosted in their country so I don't think they will be backing away from it. On the other hand, it is obvious that India will never come to Pakistan due to the geo-political situation in the region. I do not mind if Sri Lanka replaces India but the question is that with the Asia Cup would this tournament be a success 
I don't think so. You cannot minus India in the tournament where they are the favorites to win this tournament. If India is not playing, then whoever wins the Asia Cup, many analysts won't call them the true Asian champions because they didn't play against the stronger Indian team.

Asia Cup or the Champions Trophy? Are you confusing between both of them? Pakistan is supposed to host the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy, in which all the full member nations except Sri Lanka are expected to take part. On the other hand, India will be hosting the 2025 Asia Cup, in which a total of 6 Asian teams will take part. The first one is organized by the ICC, while the second one has no relations with the ICC and is being managed by the Asian Cricket Council (ACC).
I am talking about the ICC champions trophy and mistakenly wrote Asia Cup. However champions trophy is like mini world cup and if the world most strongest team India is not a part of it, then it won't be much fun.
Again I would like to emphasize that it will be much better if any nation won the Champions trophy 2025 after beating World champions India rather than winning the trophy without playing India.

No matter how hard a curator tries in Asian countries, they cannot produce wickets that support fast bowling like Australia or South Africa, where conditions play a huge role. So you will see India Bangladesh Sri Lanka these countries have spin assisted wickets where spinners do very well. You must know about the behavior of the Mirpur wicket where no matter which team comes as Bangladesh's opponent, they cannot win against Bangladesh. Bangladesh beat Australia by a big margin in the Mirpur wicket, Bangladesh regularly defeats India in the series there, not only India or Australia but the big teams cannot come here to take advantage. Each country has its own strengths if they take home advantage into account. Sri Lanka created spin assisted wickets where their team spinners bowled brilliantly so the batsmen struggled a lot there and could not score a healthy score in any of the matches. If you take the bowlers who did well in Sri Lanka to South Africa or Australia, they will be very expansive bowlers.
Everything is possible as we are having few top qualities fast bowlers here in subcontinent, and they make many record performances as well with their bowling and consistency but here we are having many other factors which are preventing them to have supporting wickets and bring good and fair cricket for the all opponents recently we are having spin track in India against England even India having good quality fast bowlers, but they have done still things for their own favour and having spin tracks it's not all about game here we are having own interest as well.Here we have mindset if we will be having fast bowling tracks this will be not favourable for home teams batsmen because their technique has never been good to face fast bowling on tricky pitches so they usually go for the spin and slow tracks which give good advantage to their batsmen.
I don’t have idea about the time when they will be replaced but Mohsin Naqvi has a deal to the ICC that India is coming here to play in 2025 and Jay Shah also agreed with this but if they would not come then ICC has said if India will refuse then Sri Lanka come in the place of India and none of the other countries has problem to play in Pakistan.
Every country is playing in Pakistan now a days. Mohsin Naqvi is a very stubborn person as we can see from his emphasising his ideas with the ICC for the champion trophy, but let’s see we will get every answer with the time.

I am not sure how this will turn out. The BCCI has already announced that they will not travel to Pakistan to participate in the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy. They have been asking the ICC to change the hosts. PCB maybe open to the idea of replacing India with Sri Lanka. But in that case 80% of the media rights revenues will be gone and the ICC may not agree to that. It is a tricky situation for Mohsin Naqvi, but at this point I don't think that there is much PCB can do about it.

I hope they will play better in the next match for karaikal knights. He was also lucky white town giants that day. From my side very sorry karaikal knights. The 9th match between white town giants and karaikal knights was played at cricket Association Pondicherry siechem ground. Karaikal knights won the toss and batting first. White town giants won by 4 runs. White town giants total runs for 169.karaikal knights total runs for 169.The best bowling performance in the white town giants team was by Bhupender Chauhan scored 4 over conceded 19 runs and took 3 wickets. Congratulations to white town giants for their upcoming matches.
Yes ,you are right. Ramachandran Ragupathy was player of match and he played brilliant in this match due to which his team won the match by 4 runs. Match was tough and we saw good match and audience enjoyed this match very match because both team gave their hundred percent to be winner of this match. At last we saw result in the favour of WGT team because they did excellent bowling in last overs and Ramachandran performance was also factor of this win. Because he made 55 runs for the team at best time when team needed that and he also grasp two catches and he did excellent fielding . That day was of Ramachandran and he was looking everywhere. KAK team could make 165 runs and they could not chase the score in the end and that team lose the match due to their own mistakes.
What could be the reason behind India's poor performance in the ODI series is now a big question for us. Overs are more in ODI matches than T20 and in ODI series India fielded with original XI yet why did they perform so badly. It is certainly disappointing that the Indian team could not score the runs they scored in the t20s in the ODI matches. I atleast thought that India team will bat first in the third ODI match and they will set Sri Lanka a target but consistently they have batted in the second innings in three consecutive matches and they have failed 100% there.
They lost the series badly to Sri Lanka, whom they narrowly bowled out in the Asia Cup.

It is strange, isn't it? One or two decades back, Indian batsmen used to struggle against pace bowling (irrespective of the opposition team, let it be Australia, England, South Africa, Pakistan, New Zealand or West Indies). Now they are showing their vulnerability against the spinners. The irony is that Indians are the ones who used spin-friendly conditions for the maximum use, whenever SENA teams used to tour that country. IMO, a complete reshuffle is needed. Oldies such as Virat and Rohit need to be told that they need to focus on test cricket.

I don't agree with the first part of your statement. There are pace-friendly tracks in India and other sub-continental countries. One example is the track at Mohali. Obviously you can't compare these with pace-heavens such as those in Kingsmead or WACA, but even then they offer genuine support for the pace bowlers. BTW, Mirpur is an extreme case scenario. I believe that this track is not suitable for international cricket and playing on such dustbowls is not beneficial for anyone.

As you know, close to 80% of the ICC revenues come from India, and therefore it will be sort of stupidity for them to reject the requests from the BCCI. A better solution would be to have a hybrid-host approach, in which India will be playing most of their matches in a third country such as Sri Lanka or the United Arab Emirates. It is unfair for PCB and Pakistan, but this is how things work in cricket. And hybrid approach is still better than shifting the entire tournament to another country in a Pakistani perspective.
This is tense situation here in this region where we are having cricket as religion for the peoples, and they are having serious feelings about things related to this game but still we need to understand if we are going to have mind-set like this we can't help this game for having development even I also expected India is biggest stake-holder, and they deserve to be honour for this, but they also need to understand if they will be gone ahead like big brother then we can achieve better results and environment for the game as well.If India is not happy to play against Pakistan in bilateral series it's acceptable, but they also need to understand and follow ICC position about their events like Champions League because if they will go for this and having win in Pakistan this could be amazing for them and their fans as well.
