Shikhar Dhawan in Focus as India-Pakistan WCL Knockout Looms
The BCCI's decision to allow India to participate in the Asia Cup has raised questions about their consistency, and whether they will adopt a different approach for the WCL knockout, with senior players like Shikhar Dhawan likely to play a key role in the decision-making process.
India's decision to participate in the Asia Cup, where they will face Pakistan, has sparked debate about their stance on playing against their arch-rivals in the World Championship of Legends knockout, with senior players like Shikhar Dhawan likely to skip the match.
The BCCI's green signal for the Asia Cup has raised questions about their consistency, given their previous refusal to play Pakistan in the WCL due to the Pahalgam attack. The move has sparked a debate about the BCCI's stance on playing against Pakistan, with some questioning whether they will adopt a different approach for the WCL knockout.
If India and Pakistan reach the WCL knockout, it is likely that senior Indian players, including Shikhar Dhawan, will skip the match, with some potentially fielding a second-string team to fulfill their obligations. This move could have significant implications for the tournament, with India's participation and performance likely to be impacted by the absence of key players.
As the WCL knockout approaches, all eyes will be on the BCCI and the Indian team, with fans and pundits eagerly awaiting their decision on how to approach the potential matchup against Pakistan, and whether Shikhar Dhawan and other senior players will take to the field.
