The logjam on the choice of venue for the Asia Cup 2023 is but to get an answer. The Asia Cup was scheduled in September this 12 months however Shah, who’s also the ACC chairman, introduced in October 2022 that India is not going to journey to Pakistan. However, no new host has been named for the match. PCB chairman Najam Sethi gave an replace and mentioned that the difficulty will likely be raised on the International Cricket Council (ICC) conferences scheduled from March 18 to March 20 in Dubai.
Sethi raised questions on India’s concerns concerning security in Pakistan as there are numerous groups touring to the nation.
“I have kept my options open because when all teams are coming to Pakistan and have no issues with security. Then why is India worried about security? In the same way, we can also have security concerns over sending our team to India for the World Cup and I will be bringing this to the table at the coming meetings,” Najam Sethi mentioned in a press convention.
“Obviously we don’t help India’s stance as a result of we wish to maintain the Asia Cup and keep in mind it isn’t simply in regards to the Asia Cup and World Cup it’s also in regards to the Champions Trophy in 2025 in Pakistan.
“I had sought advice from the government and the situation is that we have to go by what our patron-in-chief tells us to do. If he says go and play in World Cup even if India doesn’t come for Asia Cup, what can we do? If he says don’t go it is a similar situation for us,” he added.
In the primary formal assembly between BCCI secretary Jay Shah and PCB chairman Najam Sethi held in Bahrain on February 4, the dialogue concerning the venue of Asia Cup 2023 occurred however the closing resolution was withheld. Addressing the media on Thursday, Sethi mentioned extra discussions on the internet hosting of the Asia Cup ODI match will likely be held subsequent month on the sidelines of an ICC assembly because the matter “remained unresolved”.
“What can I say about what happened in the Asian Cricket Council board meeting? There was no resolution,” Sethi had instructed reporters when requested if Pakistan will host the match in September.
