And our whole situation, since the April 2025 Pahalgam incident, the entire situation changed after that. So, after that, there was pressure on us from all our country’s citizens that we shouldn’t keep any relations with our neighbouring country and not play cricket with them. But our government has a policy that we must play against every country in multinational tournaments,” Saikia said.
