BCCI: BCCI secretary Jai Shah on Thursday said that the venue of the Asia Cup will be decided in a meeting apart from the IPL 2023 final, which will be attended by top officials of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC). Jai Shah said, 'The venue of the Asia Cup has not been decided yet. We were currently busy with IPL, but top officials of Sri Lanka Cricket, Bangladesh and Afghanistan Cricket Board are coming to watch the IPL final. We will discuss it and take a decision at the appropriate time.


Pakistan is the host of the Asia Cup 2023 this year, but the Indian cricket team cannot travel to the neighboring country without the permission of the central government, and in such a situation, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Najam Sethi said that ' 'Hybrid Model' has proposed that four matches can be organized in their own country. ACC According to sources in Sethi's formula, four league stage matches of Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal and Afghanistan will be held in Pakistan, while India will play its matches at neutral venues. The match between India and Pakistan can be played in Sri Lanka. However, PCB wants to hold this match in Dubai.


ACC sources said, "ACC chief Jai Shah will convene an executive board meeting where a final announcement in this regard will be made." PCB has no qualms about playing against India at a neutral venue, although it wants to hold the match in Dubai. The Asia Cup is scheduled to be held from September 1 to 17 this year. Let us tell you that there has been tension between BCCI and PCB regarding the Asia Cup 2023 for a long time. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) says that this time they are hosting the Asia Cup 2023, so India will have to come to Pakistan and play the matches of the Asia Cup 2023. BCCI says that keeping in mind the safety of the players of Team India, they cannot play cricket on the soil of Pakistan.
