the Asian cricket circles. The Asia Cup was initially allotted to Pakistan
and was scheduled in September this year but BCCI Secretary Jay Shah, who
is also the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) chairman, had announced last
October that India will not travel to Pakistan.After that announcement, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said in a
statement that If India don’t travel for Asia Cup, Pakistan may not travel
for the 2023 ODI World Cup.
Since then, there have been meeting but no clear solution has been reached.
India spin great Harbhajan Singh has given his opinion on the issue.
“I think the BCCI is right. We shouldn’t be sending our team to Pakistan.
Even recently, some firing happened next to Karachi stadium. You don’t want
to send your team to a place where anything can happen at any time. Any
place which can be a security issue for players shouldn’t be considered.”
Harbhajan told Indian Express.
According to a report, in a possible solution to the Asia Cup logjam,
Pakistan may remain the host and India could be offered to play its matches
in the UAE where some games will be held, according to sources in the
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). In such a scenario, the UAE will also host
the final if India qualifies for it, according to a Pakistan Cricket Board
(PCB) source.
