Asia Cup 2023 Host and Venue:
The upcoming edition of the Asia Cup is scheduled to be played in Pakistan. They are gearing up to host the competition for the first time since 2008. However, there is a chance that the tournament might get shifted out of Pakistan due to their strained political relation with India.
Recent reports have suggested that the Asian Cricket Council might come up with a hybrid model that will see the Asia Cup remain in Pakistan but India would play their games at a neutral venue. As of now, the only clarity is that India have made it clear they won’t visit Pakistan for the tournament.
