The Indian cricket team won’t be traveling to Pakistan for the 2023 Asia Cup, Asian Cricket Council chief Jay Shah said on Tuesday on the sidelines of the 91st BCCI Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Mumbai on Tuesday. The 2023 Asia Cup is slated to be hosted by Pakistan and sources had earlier said that the BCCI was open to sending Team India to participate in the tournament. Shah, who is also the BCCI secretary, said that the 2023 Asia Cup may be played in a neutral venue and not Pakistan.
India had last toured Pakistan for a bilateral series in 2005-06 under the leadership of Rahul Dravid. India and Pakistan have not played a bilateral cricket series since 2012-13 when Pakistan toured India for three T20Is and as many ODIs. Since then, both have just met at world events or Asia Cup.
Matches between the two sides are always highly anticipated and stadiums go full house. The tickets for the two team’s T20 World Cup 2022 on October 23 were sold out within hours of its release.
