The relations between India and Pakistan have been going bad for the last several years and its effect has also been shown on cricket. But after the death of 26 tourists in the attack of terrorists in Pahalgam, the relationship worsened. Then last month, after the ‘Operation Sindoor’ of the Indian Army, the situation does not seem to return to the track after a tremendous military confrontation. At a time where there is a demand to stop India-Pakistan cricket completely, a player of Team India is playing with the same team with a Pakistani cricketer thousands of miles away from the country. These players are Ishaan Kishan.
Left -handed young batsman Ishaan Kishan has been running out of Team India for more than one and a half years. Recently he was on a tour of England with India A, where he was part of the informal Test series against England Lions. But in both those matches, he did not get a chance nor was he selected in the squad for the 5 Test match series against England. In such a situation, Ishaan has decided to play in the county championship in England to bring his red ball career back on track.
In the same team with Pakistani player
Star wicketkeeper-batsman Ishaan has tied up with England’s County Cricket Club Nottinghamshar. On Sunday 22 June, Ishaan also made her debut in the match against Yorkshire on behalf of this club. But this was a shocking thing here. Apart from Ishaan, fast bowler Mohammad Abbas also included Test cricket for Pakistan. Abbas is part of Nottinghamshahar for the last several season, while Ishaan will play only 2 matches.

Will Ishaan celebrate with Abbas?
Given the recent tension of India-Pakistan, Ishaan’s playing in the same team with Pakistani cricketer has been a bit shocking. In such a situation, now you will keep an eye on whether Abbas takes wickets during fielding, does Ishaan celebrate with him or not. Also, during his short journey with Nottinghamshar, he talks with Pakistani cricketer or not.
