New Delhi: BCCI has invited the cricket officials of the rest of the Asian countries except Pakistan for the IPL final. By doing this, India has shocked Pakistan. The Asia Cup has been going on for a long time. This time Asar is supposed to be held in Pakistan. But India has already informed that Virat Kohli will not go to play in Pakistan.
So BCCI has demanded to host the Asia Cup at a neutral venue. In this case, Dubai or Sri Lanka were India’s first choice. At one point, Pakistan agreed to host the Asia Cup in Dubai, but later they reneged. The BCCI was recommended by the Pakistan Board to adopt a ‘hybrid’ system. That means the Asia Cup will be held in Pakistan.
The rest of the countries will play there. Only India will play in other countries. The final or knock-out stage matches will be held in Dubai. This matter is still pending. The venue of the Asia Cup will be decided after the IPL, Board Secretary Jai Shah said. He is also the President of the Asian Cricket Council. Pakistan is adamant about hosting the Asia Cup.
PCB Chairman Najam Shetty has already threatened to boycott the World Cup if India does not play in the Asia Cup or if the competition is taken away from Pakistan. Which means that Pakistan will not participate in the One Day World Cup to be held in India. So now let’s see what position Jai Shah takes.
