New Delhi, Sep 11
Former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif believes that India's decision to play against Pakistan in the Asia Cup killed the hype of the mega contest, which is scheduled to be played in Dubai on Sunday.
As per the Union Sports Ministry's notification, India can play Pakistan in "international and multilateral events", but can't engage in "bilateral sports events in each other’s country".
India's stand to play against Pakistan in the Asia Cup, which is an eight-team tournament, aligns with the government's policy.
The 56-year-old also added that soaring ticket prices have contributed to the low-key build-up for the mega encounter in Dubai.
India are the defending champions of the tournament after winning the ODI edition of the continental tournament in 2023.
