Venues for Asia Cup 2023
Due to BCCI and PCB’s stances on hosting Asia Cup in Pakistan, there has been considerable discussion and debate over the tournament’s venues. In 2020, the Pakistan Cricket Board decided to let Sri Lanka hold the Asia Cup. It was, however, postponed repeatedly due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Sri Lanka hosted the 2022 edition, with Pakistan hosting the 2023 edition.
In response, BCCI reaffirmed its stance that Indian players would not play in Pakistan, and it has been back-and-forth ever since.
A hybrid model will now be used to host the Asia Cup in 2023.There will be nine matches in Sri Lanka, and four in Pakistan.
