Asia Cup 2023 venue dispute
This Year ASIA Cup is supposed to take place in Pakistan. However, team India has declined to attend, leaving the PCB (Pakistan Cricket Board) with two options: either find a neutral location for the tournament or attempt to hold it without India. As the latter appears to be quite difficult, the PCB may want to consider the former.
The Asia Cup will feature the top four teams–Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, India, and Bangladesh–from the 2022 tournament and host nation Pakistan. Another team from Asia will also qualify for the event via the upcoming qualifier round.
