There is a strong anti-nation feeling between India and Pakistan. We had also mentioned that India doesn\u2019t have bilateral (sporting) ties with Pakistan. I don\u2019t know the tribunal\u2019s reasoning to reject these arguments since we have not received the order. We have received only an intimation that our appeal has been rejected,\u201d Dhupar told TOI, adding he expected the tribunal\u2019s order to be with him by Monday.<br \/>India have a 7-0 head-to-head record against Pakistan and only twice \u2014 in 1973 and 2019 \u2014 have the two sides played at a neutral venue. The last time the Indian team travelled across the border was in 1964 when they played in Lahore. <br \/>Dhupar said the AITA would seek the government\u2019s approval to play the tie on Monday, but said that there were not many options on the table.<br \/>\u201cThis is a World Cup (as opposed to a bilateral series). So maybe they (government) won\u2019t object,\u201d he said.<br \/>Forfeiting a tie could result in severe sanctions, including demotion and a heavy fine.<\/div>\n<p><script>!(function(f, b, e, v, n,
