Pakistan will not play the Asia Cup if the venue is changed

The 2023 Asia Cup is still a long way off. However, there is no end to the discussion around this event. The 2023 Asia Cup is scheduled to be held in Pakistan. But the Indian Cricket Board has objections to go to Pakistan to play the Asia Cup. BCCI has informed that they will not participate in the Asia Cup if the Asia Cup is held in Pakistan. Meanwhile, the Pakistan Cricket Board has threatened not to play in the Asia Cup if the Asia Cup is moved from Pakistan.

The relationship between India and Pakistan is not good due to political tension. Regarding the 2023 Asia Cup, the Indian board has clarified that they will not participate if the Asia Cup is organized in Pakistan. Due to which the 2023 Asia Cup may be moved from Pakistan. As announced by BCCI Secretary Jai Shah, the Asia Cup will be shifted to an alternative venue instead of Pakistan due to India’s objection.

Meanwhile, the Pakistan Cricket Board has also responded. Chairman of the board Ramiz Raza also clarified that if Asia Cup is not organized in Pakistan then Babar Azmar too will not participate in this tournament to achieve excellence in Asia.

During the Pakistan-England Test in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, Ramiz Raja said that it is not the case that Pakistan is requesting to host the Asia Cup or that they have no right. Ramiz also said that they have a right to host the Asia Cup. Ramiz also said that Pakistan will withdraw from the Asia Cup if their rightful rights are taken away from Pakistan.

Believing in their own abilities, Ramiz also said, “We have shown that Pakistan can organize a tournament with all teams.” The Asia Cup is a multinational tournament, as big as the World Cup for Asian teams. Ramiz Raja then threw a question and said, why India will not come to Pakistan even after giving hosting rights to Pakistan? Ramiz also commented that it is not right to take away Pakistan’s hosting rights because the Indian government will not allow Rohit Sharma to come.

Earlier, Indian Sports Minister Anurag Thakur said, “Whether Rohit-Kohli will tour Pakistan to play the Asia Cup depends on the Indian Home Ministry. Meanwhile, there is no possibility of changing their opinion due to political problems.
