- India has not visited Pakistan since 2008.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has decided against visiting Pakistan for the Asia Cup 2023.
According to the reports, the choice was made during the BCCI’s Annual General Meeting on Tuesday. The article further stated that BCCI would insist that the tournament be held in a neutral location.
The BCCI secretary and ACC president Jay Shah stated, “Neutral venue for Asia Cup is not unprecedented and we have decided that we will not travel to Pakistan. “I’ve decided we’ll play at a neutral location.”
The 2023 Asia Cup will be a 50-over competition because it will serve as a warm-up for the ODI World Cup in India the following year.
In light of the tense situation between the two nations, India has not visited Pakistan since 2008. When Pakistan visited India for a limited-overs tour in 2012, the two countries’ last bilateral series took place.
The two nations have only competed against one another at ICC and ACC events during the past few years.
