Will not travel to Pakistan for the Asia Cup, which will be held in a neutral venue: Shah, BCCI secretary

As the president of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC), Shah’s statement effectively ends any possibility of the tournament being held in Pakistan.
The Asia Cup 2023 will take place in a neutral location. This is my opinion as President of the ACC. We [India] cannot go there, and they cannot come here. The Asia Cup has previously been played at a neutral venue, Shah said following the 91st BCCI annual general meeting in Mumbai, which was attended by new Board president Roger Binny.
He told reporters that there is a policy in place regarding playing with Pakistan, and that the BCCI will follow it. Rajeev Shukla, BCCI vice-president seated next to Shah, explained that the Board will require government permission to play Pakistan.
India last visited Pakistan for a bilateral series in 2005-06, led by current Team India coach Rahul Dravid. India did, however, travel to Pakistan in 2008 to compete in the Asia Cup.
The 2022 Asia Cup was held in the UAE last month after hosts Sri Lanka announced their inability to host the event due to the country’s economic crisis. India and Pakistan competed twice in the tournament and will meet in the T20 World Cup on October 23 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. In ICC tournaments, it is the most predictable early-round fixture.
Due to political tensions between the two neighbors, India and Pakistan now only play each other in the Asia Cup and global events.
