Asia Cup controversy: Pakistan Cricket Board's Plan-B revealed!

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has made a plan B in the midst of Indian conspiracies against holding the Asia Cup 2023 in Pakistan, ARY News reported.

As per details, the PCB is making efforts to hold the Asia Cup in Pakistan but they have presented a hybrid model in case the Indian team does not participate in the tournament.

Sources said that PCB is not willing to host the entire Asia Cup 2023 at a neutral venue. In a bid for World Cup preparation, PCB has made a plan of organizing a triangular series if India decides to play a five-nation tournament.

The PCB is in contact with different cricket boards and triangular series will be organized according to the schedule of the other teams.

Earlier, the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) refuted the media reports regarding the suspension of the Asia Cricket Cup 2023.

According to Asian Cricket Council (ACC) sources, the media reports regarding the suspension of Asia Cup 2023 are baseless. There is no truth in the news about organizing a five-nation tournament without Pakistan.

The ACC sources claimed that they have not proposed any idea to the members of the council regarding shifting the tournament to a neutral venue.

On March 23, an international media report claimed that Asia Cup 2023 will likely be played in Pakistan with India playing their matches on a neutral venue.
