Suryakumar barred from answering India-Pakistan query

India men’s T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav and chief selector Ajit Agarkar were restricted from addressing queries related to India playing Pakistan in the Asia Cup.

At the start of the media interaction, a Board of Control for Cricket in India spokesperson announced that the “press conference is held primarily to discuss the selection matters and we request everyone to keep their questions around the same.”

When a question was posed to Suryakumar about whether India’s league-stage game against Pakistan on September 14 will be just another game “with everything that’s happened between the two countries in the last few months”, the BCCI spokesperson intervened before Suryakumar could respond and said the duo will address only selection-related questions.
