I’m actually quite happy India’s not allowed to play Pakistan in a bilateral series, since it puts a premium on the games the two teams actually have to play in international events, like the Twenty20 World Cup. Before the latest ban, both countries’ cricket boards were killing the golden goose with boring series after series, which took away from the fun of it all.
So, in that spirit, enjoy the game. Ebay has tickets on sale (currently priced at 80 pounds a pop).
