Secretary Jai Shah said that after the successful organization of IPL 2023, we will also discuss among ourselves about Asia Cup 2023. Even before this meeting, the cricket board presidents of countries like Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Afghanistan have also supported India’s matches in the Asia Cup to be held at a neutral venue. The cricket boards of Bangladesh and Sri Lanka have suggested matches to be held somewhere in Dubai or UAE along with their venues.
Asia Cup hosting may be snatched from Pakistan
These days the condition and economic condition of Pakistan is very bad. The whole of Pakistan is going through a period of tragedy. The whole world is familiar with Pakistan’s poor economic condition and security concerns. In such a situation, it is possible that the hosting of the Asia Cup may be taken away from the Pakistan Cricket Board. In such a situation, the Asia Cup tournament can be organized at a neutral venue like Dubai or UAE. However, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has often been threatening to snatch the Asia Cup hosting rights from it, but it may boycott the One Day International (ODI) World Cup to be held in India this year. Other countries are also standing with the BCCI and it is natural for Pakistan to threaten due to the worldwide influence of the BCCI.
