MUMBAI: The Board of Cricket Control in India (BCCI) have decided that their men’s cricket team will not tour Pakistan for the upcoming Asia Cup 2023, Indian media reported.
According to the Indian, the decision was taken following the 91st BCCI Annual General Meeting (AGM) here on Tuesday.
The details further suggest that BCCI Secretary Jay Shah, who is also the president of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) said that the Asia Cup 2023 may be played at a neutral venue instead of Pakistan.
“Neutral venue for Asia Cup is not unprecedented and we have decided that we will not travel to Pakistan,” Shah confirmed.
“I have decided that we will play at a neutral venue,” he maintained.
It is pertinent to mention here that India last toured Pakistan in 2008 to partake in the Asia Cup.
The two sides last played a bilateral series in 2012-13 when Pakistan toured India for three T20Is and as many ODIs.
Since then, the two arch-rivals did not play a bilateral series and only met in ICC and ACC events.
