PCB and ACC are still in a deadlock regarding the Asia Cup.

 An ex-Pakistani cricketer sparks new uproar by claiming that India won't travel to this country for the Asia Cup because they're terrified of losing.


The argument over whether the Indian cricket squad would go to Pakistan for the Asia Cup gets more heated by the day.

The argument over whether the Indian cricket squad would go to Pakistan for the Asia Cup gets more heated by the day. The ACC president Jay Shah wrote to the ICC last year to request a chance of a location for the Asia Cup. The World Cup was originally scheduled to take place in Pakistan, but the PCB objected to the idea that it had been floated and, in retribution, threatened to withdraw out later in the year.


Since then, there has been back-and-forth between the two boards, but the BCCI has maintained its position despite Pakistan's insistence that they are eager to host India.

According to the most recent information, the two boards appear to have cooperated on a hybrid approach for the Asia Cup. It states that while Pakistan will continue to host the Asia Cup, India's matches will take place at a neutral site, most likely either Dubai or Abu Dhabi.

Although teams like England and Australia have played full-fledged series there, the perception is that India does not trust Pakistan's security. Yet, some former cricketers believe there is much more to the story than what first appears. Imran Nazir is one such ex-Pakistani celebrity who believes that the entire security debate is a ruse to hide India's anxiety about dealing with Pakistan on its own.



No security reason exists. Just count the number of teams that have visited Pakistan. Forget about the A teams; even Australia came. All of these are only deceptions. In actuality, India's refusal to travel to Pakistan for the Asia Cup is due to their fear of failing.

Security is merely a pretext. Play some cricket with us. There is no turning back once you start playing the political game, he remarked on the Nadir Ali Show.


India last visited Pakistan in 2006, when they won the one-day internationals but lost the Test series. Since then, Pakistan has made two trips to India before the two countries' relations were broken during a quick trip in 2012–2013. The situation is currently such that India and Pakistan only compete against each other in multi-nation ICC tournaments like the World Cups after a full decade has gone.

Asia Cups and the Champions Trophy. The tension was apparent each time India and Pakistan faced off against each other last year—twice at the Asia Cup and once again at the T20 World Cup. Nazir laments that the competition has been reduced to specific contemporary events while adamantly stating that India cannot accept losing to Pakistan.

"Games between India and Pakistan are popular because they are more exciting than other matches. The whole world is aware of it. Even we cricket players believe that India-Pakistan matches are necessary for cricket to spread throughout the world. We used to play cricket a lot. Despite being such a well-balanced tea, India cannot accept losing. You'll win some and lose some because it's a game "He spoke of.

 Kou Itakura of Japan joins Takehiro Tomiyasu and Daniel Yabuki in jubilation following the World Cup match between Germany and Japan on November 23 at Khalifa International Stadium in Doha, Qatar. The Reuters Japan did the same, fending off Germany's ferocious attempts to salvage a point from the Group 'E' opener for both teams on Wednesday, less than 24 hours after Saudi Arabia lit up the FIFA World Cup with a shocking upset of Argentina. Takuma Asano eliminated Nico Schlotterbeck from the equation with a first touch for the ages after getting the ball wide out on the right from a free kick in his own area. Asano continued to run with the goal in his sights, but the shooting angle was getting more congested. For Asano to defeat Manuel Neuer, a monster shot was required. Asano, who came on as a replacement just before the hour mark, accomplished that. The ball made a clean connection with the goalie before crashing into the net's ceiling and bringing down the Khalifa S...
