The tussle that started regarding the organization of Asia Cup 2023 is not taking its name to an end. The PCB and the BCCI are at loggerheads over the venue of the tournament. In the next few days, its picture will be clear in whose hosting and where the Asia Cup 2023 will be played. Meanwhile, it has been clarified by the BCCI that the Asia Cup will not be organized in Pakistan at any cost. So much so that the talk of snatching the hosting of the PCB Champions Trophy has come to the fore. In this way, the BCCI is preparing to give back-to-back big shocks to the PCB.
Actually, Pakistan has got the hosting Asia Cup 2023. But, where and under whose hosting this tournament will be played, the picture has not been clear yet. Its picture is expected to be clear in the next few days. There is a dispute between BCCI and PCB regarding the venue. The PCB chairman has proposed the hybrid model to the Asian Cricket Council. While the BCCI has also rejected it. Now it will be interesting to see what decision the Asian Cricket Council takes.
A BCCI official told Inside Sports that there is no possibility of Pakistan hosting the Asia Cup. We will also approach the ICC to get the Champions Trophy out of Pakistan. He told that Sri Lanka can host the Asia Cup. The final decision on this will be taken only in the meeting of the Asian Cricket Council. Please tell here that Pakistan is also hosting the Champions Trophy 2025.
It may be noted that the PCB has already made it clear that hosting the Asia Cup is with them, if the entire tournament is shifted out, it will boycott it. At the same time, Sri Lanka has expressed its desire to host the Asia Cup. This is the reason that the Pakistan Cricket Board has also rejected the proposal of the Sri Lanka Cricket Board to play the ODI series.
