Javed Miandad said, ‘Why is India afraid of playing against Pakistan? They know that if they lose to Pakistan, the public will not spare them. The Prime Minister there will disappear, his people will not leave him.
Please tell that Pakistan was to host the Asia Cup this year but BCCI Secretary Jai Shah had made it clear in a statement that India will not go to play cricket in Pakistan at any cost. In such a situation, due to the absence of the Indian team, there will be no importance of the tournament. At the same time, in response to this, the Pakistan Cricket Board had also threatened India and said that if it does not come to us for the Asia Cup, then we will also not go to India for the ODI World Cup.
Asia Cup 2023 to be held at neutral venue
The Asia Cup 2023 is almost certain to be held at a neutral venue. Recently, an emergency meeting of the Asian Cricket Council was called in which apart from Jay Shah, PCB chairman Najam Sethi also participated. Although no concrete result came out of this meeting, but it is believed that in the next month i.e. March, the new venue of Asia Cup can be announced.
Pakistan will suffer huge loss
If the Asia Cup is not organized in Pakistan, then it will have to suffer a huge loss. Because this will not only start a new era for cricket in Pakistan, but it will also strengthen the country’s economy, which is in a very bad condition right now.
At the same time, the sponsor of the Asia Cup says that if the Indian team does not participate in the tournament, then they can withdraw from it. Because if the Indian team does not go to Pakistan, the excitement of the Asia Cup will fade away and the Asian Cricket Council would not want any negative impact on the popularity of the tournament.
