Asia Cup 2023: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) wants to host more than four matches of the Asia Cup 2023 in Pakistan. This year, the tournament is scheduled to be co-hosted by Pakistan and Sri Lanka, as four matches will be played in Pakistan, whereas the rest nine matches will be played in Sri Lanka.
PCB ensures Asian Cricket Council (ACC) that they will provide full safety to all six teams, including India, and they should be allowed to host more matches. They want Pakistan vs Nepal match in Multan as there are more viewers than Lahore.
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.
