In a shocking development that has come to light from Dubai, Team India fans wearing 'Indian jersey' were refused entry into the Dubai International Cricket Stadium to watch the Asia Cup final between Sri Lanka and Pakistan. The incident came to light when a fan shared a video on the official Twitter handle of Bharat Army (the fan group of the Indian cricket team), explaining how Indian fans were snubbed from watching the match.
The fan alleged that the cops pushed Indian fans wearing the team's jersey and made it clear that fans wearing either Sri Lanka or Pakistan national jerseys will be allowed inside the stadium.
Watch the video here:
The Bharat Army tagged ICC and the Asian Cricket Council in its Twitter post and urged the governing bodies to investigate the matter.
"The @icc & @ACCMedia1 we urge you to investigate as our members travelled all they way from India to watch the #AsiaCup2022 and have been told they can’t enter the stadium by local officials and the police! Absolutely shocking treatment! #BharatArmy #PAKvSL," the Bharat Army wrote.
Meanwhile, Pakistan captain Babar Azam won the all-important toss in the final and decided to field first. The Pakistan fast bowlers came out firing on all cylinders and reduced Sri Lanka to 36/3. The Men in Green are gunning for their third Asia Cup title while the Lankan Lions are vying to nag their sixth continental glory.
