Islamabad, Nov 25: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief Ramiz Raja has said that the Pakistan cricket team won’t travel to India for the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup in 2023 if the Men in Blue don’t visit the neighbouring country for the next year’s Asia Cup.
The Asia Cup 2023 is scheduled to be played in Pakistan in September of next year. However, BCCI secretary Jay Shah, who is also the president of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) last month said that the Indian team will not travel to Pakistan for the Continental championship and demanded that the event be moved to a neutral venue.
In the latest development, the PCB chief once again reiterated his stance on the tussle. “If Pakistan doesn’t take part in the World Cup scheduled in India next year, who will watch it? We have a clear stand: If the Indian team comes here then we will go for the World Cup. If they don’t come then they can play the World Cup without us,” Raja told Urdu News. (IANS)
