Why does the Indian team not have matches in Kashmir Valley?
Highlights

- Indian team lost in both matches
- West Indies and then Australia defeated for the first time
New Delhi: Many innocent innocent Indians lost their lives in the terrorist attack in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir. After this cowardly act of terrorists, India postponed the Indus Water Treaty of more than six decades of Pakistan, giving a strong message to Pakistan. Now India-Pakistan relations are going to be bitter once again.
When Article 370 was removed in the year 2019, it was felt that cricket will develop in Kashmir like other areas. But in view of the current situation and the condition of security, it should be considered far away.
Has there ever been international matches in Kashmir?
Yes. The Kashmir Valley has hosted the international match. Sher-e-Kashmir Stadium is located in Srinagar, the capital of Jammu and Kashmir. This ground has so far become witness to two international matches. Both these matches were played in ODI format. You will regret knowing that Team India could not win a single match.
What happened in the 80s?
Both matches of India took place in the 80s in Srinagar. The first match was on 13 October 1983, in which there was a collision between India and West Indies. In this match, West Indies won by 28 runs. A few months ago, India won its first World Cup at Lord’s by defeating the West Indies. After this, both teams collided in Srinagar. Kapil Dev, the captaincy of India, was taking charge of the West Indies Clive Lloyd. After this, the next match in Srinagar took place after three years i.e. in 1986. Australia defeated India by six balls by the first three wickets.
