Shahid Afridi's take on Asia Cup stand-off: 'Even ICC won't be able to do anything in front of BCCI'
Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi believes that even the International Cricket Council (ICC) won't be able to convince the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on the issue of Pakistan being the hosts for the 2023 Asia Cup, which is now likely to move out of the country. The BCCI has made it clear that the Indian team won't travel to Pakistan for the tournament because of the tense political relations between the two countries, and the Pakistan Cricket Board reacted by threatning to boycott the ODI World Cup to be held in India later this year.The continental tourney is significant as it is scheduled just before the ODI World Cup, which India is hosting and Pakistan has threatened to boycott in a tit-for-tat riposte."I have no idea, will India visit Pakistan for the Asia Cup? Will we boycott the ODI World Cup in India? But we need to take a stand at some point or the other," Afridi told 'Samaa TV'.
"ICC Won't Be Able To Do Anything In Front Of BCCI": Pakistan Great's Strong Comment On Asia Cup Controversy
The confusion over the host venue for the 2023 Asia Cup does not seem to end. While Pakistan is the designated host, BCCI secretary Jay Shah, who is also the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) head, last year said that India won't be travelling to the country for the continental event. While the decision over the venue of the Asia Cup has been put off in the latest ACC meeting, veteran India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin recently gave his take on the topic. Ashwin, in a video on his YouTube channel, doesn't think it is possible for Pakistan to skip the ODI World Cup in India if the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) refuses to travel to their country for the Asia Cup.
