Asia Cup 2023 Schedule to Be Announced On 14th July: The Asia Cup 2023 is experiencing perhaps the most dramatic rollercoaster ride in the history of World Cricket. Asia Cup 2023 has gone through a lot since it was initially slated to take place in Pakistan in September of this year.
Due to political and security concerns, BCCI was averse to visiting Pakistan; nevertheless, after several meetings and talks, a hybrid approach was decided upon. It has been confirmed that the game would be played in both Sri Lanka and Pakistan. Sri Lanka will host the remaining 9 games, while Pakistan will host 4 of them.
Additionally, it was determined that the Asia Cup would begin on August 31 and end with a final on September 17. The schedule was highly anticipated by the fans when everything was settled.
However, the PCB head had expressed dissatisfaction with this hybrid concept after everything was finalized. Zaka Ashraf, the head of the PCB, invited Jay Shah to Pakistan for a meeting, which Jay Shah vehemently refused.
Which Geo News reported that Jay Shah had accepted invitations to visit Pakistan before the Asia Cup. Which was a complete fabrication. Numerous news outlets attested to Jay Shah’s denial of the invitation.
