Chandigarh, October 18

It will be the first time that both India and Pakistan will play against each other since 2019. India had defeated Pakistan in the CWC 2019 in England and Wales.

Former Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar shared pictures of him “chilling” with legends of cricket from India as well as Pakistan.

The photos featured Pakistan opener Zaheer Abbas, India’s 1983 World Cup-winning captain Kapil Dev and the great Sunil Gavaskar.

They all got together ahead of the much-anticipated India-Pakistan clash scheduled for October 24 at the Dubai International Stadium.

In the caption he wrote, “Chilling with the best of the best. The great Zaheer Abbas, Sunil Gavaskar & Kapil Dev. All set for the cricket ka maha muqabla. #Pakistan #India #WorldCup.”

Both the countries have won the T20 WC once since its inception in 2007. Babar Azam will lead Pakistan.

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).
