The photo looks like from a promotional event of the 2019 Cricket World Cup which will take place in England and Wales next year.
India and Pakistan have not hosted each other for a cricket series since 2012 due to tense political relations and only play in major ICC events. They will be once again scheduled to face each other in the World Cup. The two teams will be playing each other on June 14 in Birmingham.
