The Battle of Two Boards: Asia Cup 2023 Schedule is Out

The long-standing dispute between the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has finally come to an end. The much-awaited Asia Cup 2023 Schedule has been released, with Rohit Sharma & Co set to kick-off their campaign against Pakistan on September 2nd in Kandy.

India in Pool B

India have been included in Pool B alongside their arch-rival Pakistan and minnows Nepal. This should make it easier for India and Pakistan to sail through to the Super 4 stage, ensuring that there will be at least two India vs Pakistan clashes. The highly anticipated India vs Pakistan match will take place on September 2nd in Kandy, followed by India’s match against Nepal on September 4th.

BCCI’s Reluctant Agreement

The BCCI had initially refused to send the Indian cricket team to Pakistan, the original host of the tournament. However, they eventually agreed to the Hybrid Model, which allowed Pakistan to keep four games while Sri Lanka was given another twelve matches.

Conclusion

The Asia Cup 2023 Schedule is finally out, and cricket fans all over the world can now look forward to the much-anticipated India vs Pakistan matches. The battle of two boards is now over, and the focus has shifted to the tournament itself.
