      <title>The World Cup promo is a little too Indian</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/30328005/the-world-cup-promo-is-a-little-too-indian</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A promo for the One-Day International World Cup has finally been released. Featuring a narration by Bollywood icon Shahrukh Khan, the promo officially kicks of the count down to cricket’s biggest tournament which is now just over two months away.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is only one problem that even Shahrukh Khan can not fix, the promo does not have enough of the world in it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The video was released by the International Cricket Council today across social media, with the caption, “All it takes is just one day,” which, if we’re honest, is a great pun on the name of the format.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;    &lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch  media--embed  media--uneven'&gt;
        &lt;div class='media__item  media__item--twitter  '&gt;&lt;span&gt;
    &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"&gt;
        &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/ICC/status/1681915591752384512"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
    &lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        
    &lt;/figure&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The video shows multiple scenes associated with world cups - players lining up for national anthems, players hitting it out of the park and more players celebrating.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It also shows fans in all shades, happy, depressed, waving flags and screaming.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, the video moves only within a select few countries. There is of course a bit of England, who are the defending champions. There is also quite a bit of Australia, who has won enough cups. It also shows South African fans and even old Muttiah Muralitharan makes a cameo. But many countries get a brief shot at best.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Particularly missing is Pakistan, which does not have a team or celebration shot except Shaheen Shah Afridi raising his arms for a split second. None of the three Pakistani batsmen who are among the top-5 rankings in ODI are shown, even Babar Azam who sits at the top.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the list of old world cup victories, the montage awkwardly jumps from Indian and West Indian victories in the eighties, to the Australian victory in the nineties.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, the ICC did manage to squeeze in a scene of an Indian fan comforting a Pakistani one.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;India is hosting this year’s world cup which begins on October 5. Pakistan and India will clash on October 15.&lt;/p&gt;
