IND vs. PAK
Asian Cup 2023: After IPL 2023, the eyes of Indian cricket fans will turn to the WTC i.e. World Test Championship final. This will be followed by the biggest tournament, that is, the Asian Cup 2023. The planning of the Asian Cup 2023 has been going on for a long time. But nothing definitive has happened regarding this yet. Now, slowly, the mist lifts and clears. Meanwhile, due to the mutual relations between India and Pakistan, the clouds of crisis were hanging over the organization of the Asian Cup, but now it has been known that the Asian Cup will take place. Also, Pakistan Cricket Board i.e. PCB has agreed to bow down from their booth. While this resulted in victory for BCCI, the possibility of an India vs Pakistan match once again began to emerge.
The 2023 Asia Cup is likely to be hosted with a hybrid model
This time, Pakistan hosts the Asian Cup. But BCCI Secretary Jai Shah created an uproar by saying that the India team cannot go to Pakistan and play the match for security reasons. After this, it was like an earthquake in Pakistan. Jai Shah said that the Asian Cup should be held at a neutral venue instead of Pakistan where the Indian team can go and play the match. After much uproar, Pakistan introduced a hybrid model. It came out that Pakistan wanted the India team’s matches to be held in the United Arab Emirates, but the Pakistani team played their matches on their own soil. But in the meantime, it came out that Sri Lanka and Bangladesh Cricket Board said about this that there is very hot weather in UAE in the month of September, there will be a chance that the players will get sick. In such a situation, this proposal was also cold stored. Meanwhile, the fear of hosting the Asian Cup began to haunt Pakistan. Now it has been known that good news has come out regarding this whole matter.
Sri Lanka may be a neutral venue for India team matches
It was learned that India’s matches in the Asia Cup may be played in Sri Lanka and Pakistan will play its matches at home. After the league stage, the Indian team will also play their matches in Super 4 in Sri Lanka and if Team India’s place is made in the final, it will also be played in Sri Lanka alone. Although the BCCI or the PCB have not made any official statement regarding this whole matter, it is believed that it may be announced soon. It is said that in the next few days there will be a meeting of the ACC, which will be chaired by Jai Shah, if a consensus is reached, an announcement will be made. Only after this will the full schedule be announced. If the final seal is put on the Asian Cup, then once again it will see the high-voltage match between India and Pakistan. Once these two compete in the league, after that, if both teams win, there may also be a clash in Super 4, while there will also be a possibility of these two teams clashing in the final.
