The social media handle of Iceland Cricket is well known for its witty takes on all things cricket and this time, it came up with a hilarious jibe at the International Cricket Council (ICC). The fixtures for T20 World Cup 2024 was announced on Friday with India and Pakistan finding themselves in the same group. The much-anticipated clash will take place in New York on June 9. It has become a common thing for these two teams to end up in the same group when it comes to international competitions and considering they do not play bilateral series, these games attract a lot of attention and fanfare.
Iceland Cricket referred to this very fact that India and Pakistan end up in the same group most of the times in international competitions. “How much money does the ICC require not to put India and Pakistan in the same World Cup group?” their post read on X (formerly known as Twitter).
India are clubbed with Pakistan, Ireland, Canada and co-hosts USA in Group A for the league stage.
India will open their World Cup campaign with a match against Ireland on June 5 in New York.
