I have a great idea how about two t20 or odis on 14 and 15 Aug.The 14 Aug match to be held in Amritsar or some place near border and 15 Aug match held in Lahore.Its a great idea but can it be executed?
 
the last time we played them in an independance cup we smashed them..and also won the Nehru cup..so I doubt they'd want to repeat that..Just World cups for us..until we smash that taboo too..
 
I thought of something like this aswell a few days ago.

It would honestly be an amazing way to celebrate the independence of both of our nations.

It would be great if this happened one day and became an annual series.
 
Why you want either country to be unhappy on their independence day?

Play 2 UNOFFICIAL T20s of a "combined" 11 on 14th(Dubai/Lahore) and 15th(Delhi), so that no nation would be sad on their independence day

2 Teams

Warriors 11 (6 Pak, 5 Ind)

Fakhar
Rahul
Kohli *
Sarfraz +
Malik
Pandya
Imad
Amir
Bhuvi
Hassan Ali
Chahal



Kings 11 (5 Pak, 6 Ind)

Shikhar
Rohit
Babar
Dhoni + *
Raina
Asif Ali
Faheem
Shadab
Kuldeep
Bumrah
Shaheen Afridi

Some good points:
-Amir and Kohli in 1 team
-Amir vs Rohit
-Kohli can have Sarfraz for guidance just like Dhoni
-Imad can be happy as Pandya is not up against him

Good idea... but imo better would be to have 1 off T20 with combined Ind-Pak team vs Aus/Eng/SA/NZ

If Indo-Pak team gets defeated then it will be an embarrassment to be defeated by whites on independence day and, fans will again be broken.

So better have both set of players in both the teams. No way of being upset.

You really think that a team that comprises of Rohit, Dhawan, Kohli, Babar, Sarfaraz, Shadab, Hasan, Amir etc etc can be beaten?

I don't see a team in world cricket that can beat such a side.

that would be fun. Hearing sarfraz encouraging an indian bowler..imagine.."shabash cmon..chahal ghoom raha hay" lol

would be a good laugh and both sets of fans getting involved would be really fun too..
 
Sounds like a great idea, someone should send this idea to the PCB! [MENTION=2501]Savak[/MENTION] ?

Does not matter what name you give to the tournament we are not playing India anytime soon outside ICC tournaments. I am more then happy with not playing them, what bothers me are Pak fans who are so desperate to play them that they are willing to do anything. Show a bit of pride and self respect.
 
I've always wanted something like this to happen. We must have an annual odi series (must be named azaadi series). Must have 7 ODIs. No t20s no tests whatsoever. Just the ODIs....Just the prospect of that is mouthwatering. But alas, that's as unlikely as ever to happen.
 
I don't think you can call that as desparate....we just want THAT one series that makes us united as a nation and make Cricket much more enthralling than it is now.
 
It'll go on fine the first couple of years, then there will be a gigantic catfight and there will be a hiatus lasting a decade.
 
totally agree with you fella 👍🏽 I don’t understand the desperation or fascination with playing against Ind it is what it is.
Tables should turn in a few years and then we shall see how’s more desperate.
 
We can have an Indo-Pak combined xi vs Indo-Pak politicians combined xi. Would be fun to see Modi and Imran in the same team.

hmm an idea
 
[MENTION=145950]Kohli, The King of Chase[/MENTION] great idea. But unfortunately, I can't see BCCI allowing it.

Maybe if Pakistani players were playing in IPL...
 
I just want to see a test series between India and Pakistan. LOIs we are playing anyway atleast once every year. But its been 10 years we had played test cricket.
