“We are not against any team competing in India in a multi-national competition. But bilateral is different,” the source said.

“International sports demands that we cannot back out from competing. Russia and Ukraine are at war but they show up at multi-national events,” he added.

The tournament is scheduled to be held at Rajgir in Bihar from August 27 to September 7.

On a query whether India will be allowed to play against Pakistan in the Asia Cup of cricket in September, the source said, “The BCCI is yet to reach out on this. We will address this when they approach us.”

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
