Having been the reason why India and Pakistan are two different countries, England is now acting as a seemingly uniting force between the nations and with that, life has come full circle.
Former England captain Nasser Hussain helped us reach this conclusion by asking this interesting question on Twitter today:
Question to all Pakistan fans: England vs India. Sunday. Who you supporting?
Question to all Pakistan fans .. England vs INDIA .. Sunday .. who you supporting ? 😉

Now anyone who even remotely follows cricket, knows that there is no bigger rivalry in the sport than the India-Pakistan rivalry.

But when the choice was between former colonisers and their neighbours, Pakistanis picked the latter almost unanimously.
We support England’s defeat 😛
