Asia Cup 2023: India vs Pakistan Cricket – Indian cricket board secretary Jay Shah has flown to Bahrain where an emergent meeting of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) has been called at PCB chairman Najam Sethi’s behest to decide fate of Pakistan’s Asia Cup hosting rights. If sources in the BCCI are to be believed, there is little to no chance of the Asia Cup being held in Pakistan in September. Follow Asia Cup 2023 Updates with InsideSport.IN.
“Jay is in Bahrain for the ACC meeting. The BCCI’s stand will not change. We will not be travelling to Pakistan as we haven’t got any go-ahead from the government,” a BCCI source told PTI.

If at all, the tournament will either be shifted to UAE with PCB retaining the hosting rights or Sri Lanka could be the other option. It is also understood that recent bomb blasts in Peshawar have again raised security concerns about holding cricket tournaments in Pakistan.
In December last year, ACC chairman Shah released the itinerary of the continental body and the venue of the Asia Cup wasn’t mentioned. This led to Sethi accusing Shah of taking a “unilateral decision”, an allegation that ACC officially refuted stating that repeated emails to PCB seeking recommendations on the itinerary went unanswered.
In October last year, Shah, who is also the supremo of BCCI, officially told the media that India will not travel to Pakistan. The erstwhile PCB chief Ramiz Raja had back then threatened that Pakistan will not travel to India for this year’s 50-over World Cup.
