The Indian Cricket Board and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) appear to be at crossroads about the Asia Cup 2023 venue. The Indian Cricket Board Secretary and Asian Cricket Council (ACC) chairman, Jay Shah, stated that India will not visit Pakistan for the Asia Cup 2023 and that the tournament will be held at a neutral venue.
The PCB hit back at Jay Shah with a strongly worded statement. They also warned that Pakistan may not participate in the 2023 World Cup, scheduled to be held in India. Furthermore, the PCB has received a great deal of support from its former players. Former Pakistani pacer Wasim Akram is the latest to join the conversation.
He stated that India cannot dictate how Pakistan should play cricket and that Shah should have personally contacted PCB chairman Ramiz Raja if there were any reservations.
India can’t dictate ki Pakistan kaise cricket khele: Wasim Akram
“Badi zabardast statement di hai cricket board ne. India can’t dictate ki Pakistan kaise cricket khele. Aur Pakistan me cricket bhi 10-15 saal baad shuru hui hai. I’m an ex-cricketer, sportsperson, I don’t know what’s happening on political front. But people to people contact zaroori hai. Agar aapko kehna hi tha Jay Shah sahab, toh aap kam se kam hamaare chairman ko phone karte, meeting bithaate Asian Council ki. Aap apna idea dete, uspe discussion hoti.
(It was a brilliant statement from our cricket board. India can’t dictate how Pakistan play their cricket. Pakistan have started hosting teams after 10-15 years now. I’m an ex-cricketer, sportsperson, I don’t know what’s happening on political front. But communication is important. If Jay Shah had to say something, he should have phone-called the PCB chairman, there should have been a meeting of the Asian Cricket Council. There should have been a discussion),” Akram said on A Sports.
“You can’t just stand up and say we are not travelling. Jabki award kiya hai poore council ne Pakistan ko Asia Cup. (Pakistan were awarded the Asia Cup) That’s not fair,” Akram further said.
