The concern of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is the safety of their players, and Indian Government will not allow Team India to play cricket in Pakistan. The BCCI has refused to send its team to Pakistan since 2008 due to security concerns.

BCCI will not send Indian players to Pakistan for the Asia Cup, even if more matches were to be played there. Ultimately, the decision of how many matches Pakistan will host will be up to the Asian Cricket Council (ACC).

The ACC may agree to increase the number of matches that Pakistan hosts Because Pakistan is threatening India that They will not play World Cup 2023 in India and are demanding neutral venues.

India and Pakistan have played 132 matches in ODI cricket, In Which Pakistan won 73 matches, whereas India won only 55 matches and four matches had no results. In the last five years, India has been way stronger than Pakistan in any format.
