NEW DELHI: Border tensions between India and Pakistan are casting a cloud over this year's cricket World Cup with the threat of a boycott hanging over their highly-anticipated clash in England.
India captain Virat Kohli said the players would respect any instruction from the government or board. The Kashmir attack was claimed by the Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed militant group, which India says operates as a proxy for Islamabad, a charge Pakistan denies. "It will have to be a government pressure on them to not play. June 16 is still many days off and politics can play any narrative it wants to suit itself."Former paceman Chetan Sharma told AFP that country comes first for him and he would prefer India giving up two points if need be.
