What was there in the video that enraged Pakistan?

Afghanistan Cricket Board's promotional video featured references to India, Pakistan and PCB. After Pakistan was included in it, there was a sharp reaction there.

There has been tension between Pakistan and Afghanistan for some time regarding border disputes and security issues. Many incidents of clashes and firing have also come to light between the two countries. Pakistan has been continuously accusing Afghanistan of promoting terrorist activities, while Afghanistan has been rejecting these allegations.

Will Pakistan raise this matter at the international level?

According to the report, Pakistan is so angry about the ACB video that it is preparing to raise this matter on the international platform. However, no official announcement has been made by Pakistan in this regard yet.

It is believed that the dispute over the video may further increase the already existing tension between the two countries.

How are the relations between India and Afghanistan?

Formal diplomatic relations have not been fully established between India and the Taliban, but relations between the two countries have not completely deteriorated either. India has been cooperating with Afghanistan in humanitarian aid as well as development-related matters.
India has maintained its presence in Afghanistan through economic and development projects. In such a situation, experts believe that this video of ACB can also be considered as an indication of Afghanistan's independent foreign policy.

When will India-Afghanistan series take place in Delhi?

Afghanistan Cricket Board said in its post that the entire country is eagerly waiting for this series. The board has described it as a series that will bring the two countries closer, in which history and culture are also linked.

This series between India and Afghanistan will be played on 13, 15 and 17 September at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. There is a lot of excitement among cricket fans regarding this three-match series.

Is India and Afghanistan growing closer on the economic front too?

Talks regarding economic cooperation between India and Afghanistan are also progressing. Both countries have discussed strengthening institutional cooperation in various areas of trade and economic relations.

This includes customs and data sharing, regulatory cooperation in pharmaceuticals and agriculture sectors, improving trade connectivity and promoting investment and trade relations.

In such a situation, this video of ACB has become a reason for Pakistan's displeasure amid the upcoming India-Afghanistan series on the cricket field. Now it remains to be seen what further steps Pakistan takes in this matter and how much impact it has on the already tense relations between the two countries.
