Asia Cup 2023: BIG Blow to Pakistan, BIG WIN for BCCI- More Details Inside
Asia Cup 2023: The future of Asia Cup 2023 is hanging in the balance. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) are the official hosts of the Asia Cup 2023 event set to take place later this year but Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) refusal to travel to Pakistan has complicated the matters for the Asian Cricket Council (ACC).
Asia Cup 2023: BIG Blow to Pakistan, BIG WIN for BCCI
There’s a new twist in the tale as Sri Lanka Cricket Board (SLC) has revealed they have entered the race to host Asia Cup 2023 later this year. It comes as a BIG blow to Pakistan, who, for some time now, were prepared to host the multi-team tournament in a hybrid model. On the sidelines of the washed-out IPL final day on Sunday, where all ACC members met, barring PCB representatives, the BCCI denied the latest hybrid model and said, it’s either Colombo or nothing.
As reported earlier, heads of three boards – BCB, SLC and ACB, were in Ahmedabad for the IPL 2023 final, and after an informal discussion among them, the BCCI secretary, Jay Shah – who also happens to be the ACC chief, has played down PCB’s latest proposal.

ASIA CUP 2023, PCB’s Proposal:
PCB suggested that while a few matches will take place on Pakistani soil, the Indian team will play all games in the UAE. It is a complicated process regarding logistics here, the Indian board didn’t accept it.
ASIA CUP 2022:
The Asia Cup 2022 hosts (SRI LANKA) could not organise the tournament in their country due to political and economic upheaval and the event was moved to Dubai last year. But with BCCI rejecting Pakistan’s ‘hybrid’ model proposal to host Asia Cup, SLC have offered to be the host as ACC get ready to take a call on the six-nation event.
FRESH UPDATE ABOUT ASIA CUP 2023:
As first reported by the Cricbuzz, a top SLC official has revealed the board is ready to host the Asia Cup 2023 instead of PCB, and the ball is now in ACC’s court to make the final call. “The SLC is prepared to host the Asia Cup at short notice. The decision now is up to the ACC,” a top SLC official told Cricbuzz on Monday.
While it remains unclear what is the status of PCB chief Najam Sethi on this, who earlier had opposed the idea of BCCI dictating terms on the multi-team events, and even threatened that Pakistan would boycott the upcoming 50-over World Cup in India if Asia Cup rights snatched.
ASIA CUP 2023 DATE:
The Asia Cup 2023 is likely to take place from 1st September to 17th September.
ICC chairman Greg Barclay and its CEO Geoff Allardice will travel to Pakistan
Meanwhile, the latest reports have claimed that ICC chairman Greg Barclay and its CEO Geoff Allardice will travel to Pakistan to decide on the venues for the 2023 World Cup, the schedule for which will be announced after the World Test Championship 2023 Final.
Earlier, PCB had also shown reservations about playing at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, but it is learnt the Indian board is in no mood to change the venue.
