Digital Desk: The Indian
cricket team won’t be travelling to Pakistan for the 2023 Asia Cup, Asian
Cricket Council Chief Jay Shah stated on Tuesday on the sidelines of the 91st
BCCI Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Mumbai on Tuesday.
As per sources, the 2023
Asia Cup is scheduled 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 in Pakistan.
India last visited Pakistan
for a bilateral series in 2005-06, led by Rahul Dravid. Since 2012-13, when
Pakistan toured India for three T20Is and as many ODIs, India and Pakistan have
not played a bilateral cricket series. Both have only met in world events or
the Asia Cup since then.
Matches between the two
teams are always highly anticipated, with stadiums packed to capacity. Tickets
for the two teams' T20 World Cup 2022 match on October 23 sold out within hours
of being released.
"These games are more
about mentality than skill and talent; even small teams can beat big teams if
they have the temperament of not giving up. Pakistan has always been the
underdog heading into (World Cup) games against India, but they have started to
give us respect recently; previously, they thought Pakistan couldn't beat
them," Raja told the media.
"So we should give
credit to this current Pakistan team. We defeated a billion-dollar cricket
industry. I have played in World Cups, but we never won against India. This team
should be appreciated, and we are giving them a tough fight despite our limited
resources," he added.
India and Pakistan recently
competed in the Asia Cup.
