In July 2021, Pakistan is all set to play against England in the three-match ODI and T20I series. But unfortunately, the fans in Pakistan will not be able to watch the game as Sony Pictures Network in India holds the rights for the matches in England. The network has the right to broadcast and telecast all the matches in South Asia and Pakistan is in no mood to do business with India. Needless to say that the fans are quite angry with the same. In fact, Pakistan Federal Minister for Information Fawad Chaudhry spoke said that they don’t wish to have any business ties with India and thus the matches will not be broadcast in Pakistan.

The minister further said that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and PTV will face losses due to this. The Pakistani fans took to social media and expressed their disappointment about the same. While a few fans said that Sony Pictures Network should not have been selected as the broadcaster for the event, the others were quite upset that they won’t be able to watch the matches.
Now, let’s have a look at the tweets below:
