I think the reason why the matches in the Asia cup or not consistently being played in one country is because they did not want any people to plan a hit in a certain area.  Don’t know how effective that is. But my assumption is this.
How about a surprise announcement just before the match regarding the venue so that no one could plan anything  Cheesy Tongue. The only reason the tournament is conducted in two countries is simply because of the refusal of the Indian Cricket team to visit Pakistan. As long as there is right wing government in power in India you cannot expect any change in this decision.

The hypocrisy is that only Cricket is affected by this political drama, India and Pakistan play other sporting events regularly without any issue Cheesy.

So at least you agree that all this hassle is because the Indian cricket team refused to visit Pakistan. Anyways I do not want to defend Pakistan either as currently they don't have the guts to take a stand.


Ramiz Raja is the one who talked about national dignity but Najam Sethi talked about money. The new government of Pakistan didn't even bothered to resist rather agreed on everything proposed by BCCI. Now India will not come to Pakistan for Asia Cup but Pakistan will go to India for World Cup. Next is icc championship trophy and same episode will be repeated by India.
Previous PCB Chairman Raja is taken strict action and stood on Asia Cup if India come to Pakistan. Pakistan Will go to India for the world cup but now current PCB chairman Najim is not taken a stand on the Asia Cup. I think The main reason is Asia Cup is not an ICC event. ICC champion trophy 2025 will be held in Pakistan. And every team come to Pakistan if any team doesn't come BCCI and another team. ICC will take action against him if which team doesn't come to Pakistan for the champion Trophy.
I am not going to lie here but a fair amount of people in India were counting on such tactics but it was bad luck (For Indians) that PCB caved.

BCCI or overall India in general wants Rambo (Immi) kind of people in charge of PCB (Pakistan). I won't dwell much on it but imagine what would happen if Pakistan actually boycott the World Cup.

If you can grab the gist of it then i won't mind a productive discussion.

Don't expect anything from this puppet government of Pakistan. If it had been Imran Khan the PM and Ramiz Raja the chairman of PCB, we would have been given a tough time to the BCCI but this puppet government have destroyed the patriotism among us. I would not be much happy if Pakistan beats India in this Asia Cup, rather I would be happier if India beats Pakistan.

This is me, who is saying this, so you can understand the situation here in Pakistan at the moment.

If Pakistan boycott the World Cup some of the media will get in to make decisions on the venues or they'll try to make compromise talks. Rather than anyone it is the media that is making huge money out of the India vs Pakistan match. Surely one of the interesting part of World Cup could be left behind without Pakistan.
Alright That's why there is no world cup without the Pakistani team and the media will lose money and interest from people from it Pakistan is a strong team last 2 world cup he played in Semi final of the ICC world cup 2021 and played the Final of ICC world cup T20 2022. And i think Pakistan is a very Strong team nowadays and have a very good chance to win the World Cup 2023 because they have The 1 ODI player Babar Azam and the best fast bowlers in the world that is why if Pakistan is boycott the World Cup then Media or people no one interested in it. I think Pakistan will go for world cup 23 and make things interesting for fans and Media.

I won't be surprised if it's UAE (gulf) + Pakistan or Srilanka/Bangladesh + Pakistan.

Overall both scenario makes sense but Gulf pitches seems to be dead and most of the results depends on the toss so there is a fair chance for the latter scenario but at the same time it would also depend on the profit margin aka tax situation.



It will be interesting if the Champions Trophy is played in Bangladesh. I don’t think it is going to be played in India. Either system and Bangladesh or Pakistan and UAE. As you said, Sri Lanka is already a part of the Asia cup. And the tracks in UAE are just simply not good enough for competitive matches. So it is not going to be absolutely wild to assume that probably Bangladesh is going to be a part of the champions trophy. It does not matter if the champions Trophy is the date in Pakistan and Bangladesh / Pakistan and UAE. India is going to be happy anyways.

I think we all know why it is only an issue with cricket. Cricket is very big in both of these countries. So of course there are going to be drama around cricket in both of these countries. I want people to understand that in a cricket match between India and Pakistan, there are so many big names coming to see the match which is absolutely insane. Those names do not even visit the NBA matches or not even any football match to be honest.

Almost every big Baller comes to see the match between India and Pakistan. That is why there are so much interest in a match between India and Pakistan. And that is also the reason why there are so many politics going on around this match. The other sports are not as affected as cricket by the political drama between these two countries, and that’s because the other sports are not big enough in these countries to be honest.

Almost everyone will say the same thing that if Pakistan and India are not present in the World Cup then the World Cup will not get its full essence. The media will definitely look these two teams differently. They also now understand the value of India vs Pakistan matches. In the last T20 World Cup not only the media but also the organizers got a good idea about this issue. These two teams will face each other in the upcoming Asia Cup where this match will be one of the best matches for the entire tournament.

Not sure if that's the case.

The most possible reason, promos etc got delayed because of drama between BCCI and PCB. A fair amount of discussions were going on and at some point, there was no surety of the Asia cup.

True. I was also thinking that this year's Asia Cup may get cancelled. Would have been a big blow for Nepal, who qualified after so much hard work. But even now, a lot of things are still complicated. Teams need to travel thousands of miles, shuffling between matches in Pakistan and Sri Lanka. It would have been much better if Sri Lanka was granted exclusive hosting rights. But then, it would be unfair to Pakistan, who were hosting the tournament after a big gap. In the end, it is going to be hard for the players, as well as for the fans.

I don't know how is this hosting like, where the original hosts (Pakistan) are given only 4 matches to host in their own country, in this Asia Cup.

What difference did it make if they do not host these four matches too and all the matches of the Asia Cup to be played in 2023 ? Maybe the players know how difficult it is to move from country to county in order to play the games of the same tournament and adjust to the changing conditions.

No reason to blame them for the initial burst as it was their right but at the same time, they also knew that it was fool's errand and they wasted a fair amount of time.

The next Championship trophy is also scheduled in Pakistan and i bet this story will repeat again, maybe it would be wise if they can follow the hybrid model same as the Asia Cup.

The same thing is definitely going to be repeated. And again, I believe it is going to be two countries hosting the championship trophy. But I hope that is going to be a better fixture.
A proposal that beckons is to allocate the initial half of the tournament to take place in Pakistan, while the latter half shall unfold in another captivating destination outside Pakistan.. Not one match here and the next match there. And of course Pakistan is in the right to ask to host the tournament. But if the situation in Pakistan gets better, I think Pakistan might be able to host the whole tournament. But Pakistan will have to give the touring players a huge amount of security in any case.
I won't be surprised if it's UAE (gulf) + Pakistan or Srilanka/Bangladesh + Pakistan.

Overall both scenario makes sense but Gulf pitches seems to be dead and most of the results depends on the toss so there is a fair chance for the latter scenario but at the same time it would also depend on the profit margin aka tax situation.

As far as i know, at the start revenue sharing model was proposed in the ACC meetings for the Asia Cup, which is the norm when we have multiple hosts but PCB was reluctant to move things in positive ways.

They were also given the choice that they are free to host the tournament without India but this proposal was also rejected and we know the reason already.

Hosting the tournament without India would mean that the revenues go down by 80% or more. So such an option is not viable. Anyway, without the India vs Pakistan clash, what is the point in even having the Asia Cup? Revenue sharing model works with GCC nations such as Oman and United Arab Emirates, but when it comes to South Asian nations such as Sri Lanka, the terms and conditions would be much more unfavorable. Pakistan initially wanted Oman as the co-host, but other ACC members raised the issue of unfavorable weather.
If you have the hosting rights and you are relocating the tournament to another venue then the deal favors the original host, it's definitely not 50-50 so that's my reading.

Anyway, Asia Cup is a done deal and shouldn't face any issues atm but the Champions trophy drama is going to be fun because it comes under the ICC. Btw did you notice, BCCI never made any fuss when they moved the last T-20 Asia Cup to Dubai? One could say tax benefits but BCCI never took a penny and all profits were handed out to ACC.

The Asia cup is already decided to be played in Pakistan and Sri Lanka. That is not going to change. But I think we all know that the same drama is going to happen again. The champions Trophy is being played after such a long time and I don’t think anyone wants to see so much drama that it somehow gets cancelled.  I believe the last champions trophy was played in 2017. After six years, we don’t want so much drama to be honest. At least I don’t want to see so much drama. I hope the champions Trophy eventually ends up being played. Pakistan does hold the right to host the champions Trophy. But I am pretty sure that the whole tournament is not going to be played in Pakistan.

I think the reason why the matches in the Asia cup or not consistently being played in one country is because they did not want any people to plan a hit in a certain area.  Don’t know how effective that is. But my assumption is this.

We've got more ODI matches in the upcoming months. By the ongoing month end Asian Cup gonna start and soon after that ODI World Cup gonna start. By this time Ab De Villiers have come up with the prediction on the teams to reach the semifinals. Among them are the host nation India, defending champion England along with Australia. On the fourth spot there is much expectations on Pakistan, and his choice is different. Ab De Villiers have given the fourth spot for his own Country South Africa. Till date South Africa used to be unlucky and lets see if something good happens in this ODI World Cup.

Alright Pakistan has the right to host Asia Cup after a long time but a political issue of Pakistan mishandling the Case Ramz Rajja is a great chairman of PCB and he stands if India comes to Pakistan to play Asia Cup 2023 Pakistan will go to India for ICC World Cup 2023. But after Govt change and the borad chairman change policy will also changed. Now few matches of the Asia Cup will be played in Pakistan including Pakistan vs Nepal and Bangladesh vs Sirlanka and India all matches are played in Sirlinka and Semifinal and Final of Asia Cup will play in Sirlinka. Remember The Asia Cup starts on 28 August in Pakistan.

This is really a big headache. The schedule and logistics gets quite complicated, if the matches are being hosted in two different countries that are thousands of kilometers apart from each other. It creates additional headache for the fans, as well as for the TV broadcasters. All this could be avoided. PCB could just enter into a revenue sharing agreement with any of the other countries and then shift the matches there. Or else, ICC need to talk to BCCI and make sure that they don't have an issue with Pakistan hosting major ICC tournaments. The current situation is not viable in the long term.

BCCI is taking advantage of its bigger position in ICC. Its not about security nor anyother issue but just to satisfy the ego, BCCI did all this. It's PCB Najam Sethi who mishandled this situation and gave away everything to BCCI. If Ramiz Raja was chairman of PCB things will be quite different. Good to see Nepal joining Asia Cup for the first time.
