Asia Cup 2023 to be played at neutral venue: BCCI secretary

The 2023 edition of the Asia Cup was slated to be hosted by Pakistan, but the chairman of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) Jay Shah has confirmed that the tournament will be held at a neutral venue.

There have been political tensions between India and Pakistan for quite some time now and that has naturally affected regular cricket being played between the two nations. India last traveled to Pakistan in 2006 and it looks like they aren't going to play in the neighboring country anytime soon.

Here's what ANI reported the BCCI secretary said:

"We'll have Asia Cup 2023 at a neutral venue. It's the government which decides over the permission of our team visiting Pakistan so we won't comment on that but for the 2023 Asia Cup, it is decided that the tournament will be held at a neutral venue."

Will Pakistan be keen on traveling to India for the ODI World Cup next year? Let us know in the comments.
