I think we might be seeing even fewer indo-pak games, especially group stage games in ICC events. Asia cup will also get sabotaged now... Things are going from bad to worse.

This is what exactly you wanted when Indian refused to go for Pakistan to play champion trophy.
Pakistan fans were saying why India - Pakistan are always placed in a same group in any ICC events .

That has been worth 1.5X other India games. A minor dip considering rest of the tournament.

We can joke about the stance but let's be honest if it is causes Indian heartache to play against Pakistan and it's not longer enjoyable then it makes sense for them not to play.
Hopefully the time comes when both countries are ready to play cricket without the emotional trauma for our neighbours.
It's a shame to see the damage it's done to innocent people. The PSL production staff did nothing wrong, they just happen to be Indian.
Have these good people suddenly changed and now need to be deported? It's just point scoring but these guys will have lost their livelihoods.
We share many great memories and emotions with our Indian neighbours. Some good, some bad but that's sport. I don't think our next generations will feel any of the ties we felt. Yes the Indians will claim they can have the same experience with Australians but it won't be the same humour, language and cultural experiences that made our bonds so great.
Walls will now be put up. Not just in cricket but across all walks of life. I don't see them coming down in our lifetimes.

These guys are blind nationalists. One Indian poster was even defending Indian call center scammers. ROFL.
Beautiful game of cricket has been ruined by India. It is a tragedy.
We should be glad then that Bangladesh is ever present to lighten the atmosphere through comic relief.

BCCI's sweeping step after Pahalgam attack, writes to ICC over Pakistan matches; Asia Cup decision put on hold: Report
In the wake of the deadly terror attack in south Kashmir's Pahalgam, where 26 civilians lost their lives on Tuesday, there have been rumours that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) took a sweeping step by writing a letter to the International Cricket Council (ICC), urging them to no longer club India and Pakistan together in the same group for ICC tournaments.
According to a report in Cricbuzz, BCCI no longer wishes for an India-Pakistan face-off, at least in the group stages of an ICC event. However, the next big ICC tournament is in September, with India hosting the Women's ODI World Cup. Pakistan qualified for the eight-team tournament, where each team will play against all other participants in a round-robin format. As per the pre-decided arrangement, Pakistan will not be playing any of their matches in India, with the host nation yet to zero in on the neutral venue.
Earlier, BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla confirmed that the board would follow whatever the Indian government decided, but the report also added that a top BCCI official told the website that such a development was news to him.
What about the Asia Cup?
Regarding men's cricket, the next ICC tournament is in 2026, with the T20 World Cup being hosted in India and Sri Lanka between February and March. However, the immediate concern for the BCCI is the Asia Cup, which will be held in September with India as the host. Although Cricbuzz had earlier reported that the tournament would be entirely played at a neutral venue, with Dubai and Sri Lanka as likely venues,
The fresh report on the website, however, highlighted: "The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) has sold the media rights for the Asia Cup - valued at $170 million for four editions - based on an unofficial understanding that each edition will feature at least two India-Pakistan matches, with the possibility of a third if the teams meet in the final. The media rights deal is middle-heavy than front-or back-loaded, which means the 2025 edition would cost around $ 38 million, instead of the average value of $ 42.5 million."
In the previous edition of the continental tournament, held in 2023, India and Pakistan faced each other twice—once in the group stage and once in the Super Four. The second match was washed out as Pakistan failed to make the final. India won the tournament, beating Sri Lanka in the final.
The report concluded that while the Asia Cup draw was expected to be out in May, the Asian Cricket Council might take time to ponder its options, both for the draw and the venue. "The general impression is that any final decision will hinge on the escalation or de-escalation of prevailing tensions between India and Pakistan," it added.
