“Final Call On Asia Cup Venue To Be Taken After IPL 2023 Final”: Jay Shah

A ultimate resolution on the nation — or nations — internet hosting the Asia Cup will probably be taken on the sidelines of the IPL ultimate, which will probably be attended by a bunch of high Asian Cricket Council (ACC) dignitaries, BCCI secretary Jay Shah stated on Thursday.

“As of now, the decision with regards to hosting of Asia Cup hasn’t yet been finalised. We are busy with IPL but the top dignitaries of Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC), Bangladesh and Afghanistan Cricket Board are coming to watch the IPL final. We will have a discussion and take a final decision in due course,” Jay Shah informed PTI.

The hosts for this yr’s Asia Cup is Pakistan however with the Indian cricket crew not travelling to the neighbouring nation with out the Central authorities’s permission, PCB chairman Najam Sethi had proposed a ‘Hybrid Model’ the place 4 video games are alleged to be hosted of their nation.

It has been learnt from ACC sources that Sethi’s proposed Hybrid mannequin that Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal and Afghanistan play 4 preliminary matches in Pakistan with India enjoying all its video games at impartial venues, seems like a possible resolution though ACC had made no formal statements.

The two India-Pakistan video games can even be held in Sri Lanka though the PCB needs them in Dubai.

“ACC head Jay Shah will summon an executive body meeting where a formal announcement will take place. The PCB doesn’t mind playing India at a neutral venue. While they would prefer Dubai because it would lead to more gate receipts, it is open to playing in another country (read Sri Lanka) provided the ACC matches the gate receipts amount (USD 0.5 million) that Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) received in 2022 from the Indo-Pak games in Dubai,” an ACC supply aware about improvement informed PTI on situations of anonymity.

While PCB maintains that enjoying the World Cup in India is topic to authorities clearance and is a matter to be handled in isolation from Asia Cup internet hosting rights, it’s a foregone conclusion that neither BCCI, nor ICC or the host broadcasters will probably be agreeable to an India-Pakistan World Cup match happening in Bangladesh.

The window for the Asia Cup this yr is between September 1-17.
