Asia Cup 2023: Pakistan Gets Support From Bangladesh And Sri Lanka

Asia Cup 2023: Pakistan got the support of Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. There is a lot of ruckus going on between India and Pakistan (IND vs PAK) regarding the Asia Cup.

This time it was going to host the Asia Cup 2023. But the BCCI had clearly refused to go to Pakistan, after which a lot of rhetoric is going on between India and Pakistan.

However, now good news is coming out for Pakistan, because Bangladesh and Sri Lanka have supported Pakistan.

With the BCCI adamant on relocating the entire tournament, a “boycott” cannot be ruled out from India’s point of view.

What are PCB resolutions?

Proposition 1- Pakistan hosts all the games while India plays its matches at a neutral venue

Proposition 2 – The tournament is divided into two phases with Pakistan hosting the first round of games while India play all their games at neutral venues in the second phase. The final will also be held at a neutral venue.

A senior BCCI official has told InsideSport that “I have not seen the proposal. But there has been no change in our stand.

We want the tournament to be played at a neutral venue and not in the UAE. With the kind of heat it is there, we can’t afford to get injured.

Sri Lanka is best suited for the tournament. So far, we have not discussed anything about boycotting it. Let’s first understand the situation and then we will take a call”.

The “hybrid” model of PCB was rejected:-

The “hybrid” model of the PCB was rejected by the BCCI. Whereas the BCCI had asked to shift the entire venue to a neutral venue.

While Sri Lanka Cricket supported BCCI’s claims and Bangladesh Cricket Board supported PCB in their decision.

Though the BCCI is slowly losing support. According to Geo TV, Pakistan has got support from SLC and BCB on the hybrid model.

The PCB last month series in UAE:-
