Asia Cup 2023: Wasim Akram is the most recent person to respond to Asian Cricket Council (ACC) President Jay Shah’s remark that India won’t be visiting Pakistan for the Asia Cup in 2023. The legendary pacer claimed that Jay Shah ought to have at least called PCB Chairman Ramiz Raja before making such a statement in order to open a line of communication. He continued, “A statement like this is just not fair.”
“Mr. Jay Shah, if you wanted to say something like this, you should have at the very least called our chairman and arranged a meeting of the Asian Council. There might have been converted after you had expressed your point of view. You cannot simply declare that you will not be going to Pakistan “Added he.
In addition, Akram said: “The full council decided to give Pakistan the privilege of hosting the Asia Cup. Simply said, it’s unfair.”
Following this, the PCB responded by asserting that the comments were unilateral and had the potential to “split” the cricket community. It was further noted that moving the Asia Cup from Pakistan “may effect future events in India,” including the World Cup.
Anurag Thakur, the Union Minister for Youth Affairs and Sports, said on Thursday that the home ministry would decide whether or not to send the cricket team to Pakistan for the Asia Cup.
“There are always opportunities. Who would have imagined COVID-19? Although everything is conceivable, there is little chance that an Indian team will travel to Pakistan. In this situation, the home ministry will make the decision. Overall, player protection and safety are important issues, according to what the minister reportedly remarked, according to PTI.
