I still believe that in the end some sort of compromise will be reached between Najam Sethi of the PCB and Jay Shah of the BCCI. Earlier when Rameez Raja was the head of the PCB, the relations between PCB and BCCI were at the lowest point. Rameez was very aggressive, especially in terms of forcing the other teams to play in Pakistan. And he achieved a lot of success with this. If Asia Cup was taken out of Pakistan, it would have dealt a big blow to Rameez. Now Najam Sethi seems to be ready for negotiations. He may settle for having tournament in a neutral venue, given that the PCB gets properly compensated.
@SirLancelot,
If the venue changes from Pakistan to any other country, or even in a neutral host is going to be placed, I think it is going to be very unethical and it is going to be an injustice from the ICC as well. It was decided a long time ago that Pakistan is going to be the host of the Asia cup. And now just because of some complaints from India, it cannot be changed.
And if for some unbelievable reason, it does end up changing, I think we would finally know that the ICC does not care about what actually goes on in cricket. But honestly, I do not think the venue is going to be changed.
The point is with all this debate and twitter war going on between Jay Shah and Najam Sethi and all discussion of venue ICC is not giving any statement to come this topic once in for all . Rather than that ICC is just sitting silently and observing everything which is causing more and more controversy and chaos.
ICC should just give one statement to confirm the venue of host country and close this topic.
