Digital Desk: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) are yet to settle the ongoing conflict over the shifting of the Asia Cup 2023 from Pakistan to another venue.
It should be noted that Pakistan is set to host the Asia Cup in 2023, but the BCCI has stated that Team India would not travel to Pakistan to play in the tournament, instead requesting that it be hosted in a neutral venue.
In the midst of the ongoing dispute between the PCB and the BCCI, former Pakistan all-rounder Abdul Razzaq has made an unexpected comment.
"Cricket ke liye bada accha hai, promotion of cricket ke liye bada accha hai. kaafi saal ho gye hain India aur Pakistan ke matches nahi hue. Hamein ICC ke tournament me in hi ye matches dekhne ko milte hain. Agar ye venue change hua hai, best option hai. Ismein, unko (PCB) ko maan lena chahiye. Ye cricket aur cricketers ke liye bada accha haiCricket ke liye bada accha hai, promotion of cricket ke liye bada accha hai. kaafi saal ho gye hain India aur Pakistan ke matches nahi hue.

If Asia Cup has been shifted to Dubai, then that's the best option. It's good for cricket and cricketers)," Razzaq told Geo Super, striking a pragmatic tone.
When asked if the ICC should ban India from hosting international tournaments because of their stand over the Asia Cup, Razzaq remarked, "It doesn't happen like this. This has been going on for a long time. It would be fantastic if the two boards sat across the table and talked. This should be resolved by both boards."
