Eyes on preparations for ODI World Cup
The ODI World Cup is to be played in the hosting of India this year. Both Pakistan and New Zealand teams want to prepare themselves for this World Cup. In such a situation, this tour is going to be very important for both the teams in terms of preparation for the ODI World Cup. Before the ODI World Cup, Pakistan also has to participate in the Asia Cup. The dates of the Asia Cup have not been revealed yet. Pakistan has to host the Asia Cup but India has refused to go to Pakistan for this tournament and has demanded to organize it in some other country. This is the reason why the issue of Asia Cup is still pending.
