The Crucial Week Ahead for India vs Pakistan Cricket
The upcoming seven days will be pivotal for India and Pakistan cricket. The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) will come together in Dubai to decide the fate of the highly-anticipated tournament. It is almost certain that Pakistan will lose its rights to host the Asia Cup 2023. However, the result of this meeting will have a far-reaching effect on the World Cup 2023.
BCCI Refuses to Send a Team to Pakistan
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has not only refused to send a team to Pakistan, but they have also rejected the idea of any matches being held in the neighbouring country. This hard line stance adopted by the BCCI is sure to have a negative impact.
Asia Cup 2023 to be Hosted Elsewhere
The probability of Pakistan hosting the Asia Cup 2023 is practically zero. The BCCI is planning to take the matter to the International Cricket Council (ICC) in order to move the Champions Trophy away from the country as well. As of now, Sri Lanka is likely to host the tournament. However, the final decision will only be made at the ACC meeting, an official close to the development told InsideSport.
Conclusion
The upcoming week will be crucial for the future of India and Pakistan cricket. The ACC meeting in Dubai will decide the fate of the Asia Cup 2023 and may have a significant effect on the World Cup 2023. The BCCI has taken a hard line stance against Pakistan, refusing to send a team and rejecting the idea of any matches being held in the neighbouring country. As a result, it is almost certain that the Asia Cup 2023 will be hosted elsewhere. Sri Lanka is likely to be the host country, but the final decision will be made at the ACC meeting.
