Ramiz Raja has issued multiple statements on the matter. He has also confirmed that the Pakistan cricket team will not tour Asian country for the 2023 ODI tournament if the Indian team does not return for the Asia Cup. Because the discussion stretches on, the talks of the Asia Cup being shifted to a special venue have conjointly taken place.
Ramiz Raja, in chat on BBC’s match game Special, recommended that hosting rights of the Asia Cup should not be alienated from Pakistan simply because India is not willing to have the trip.
“We’ve shown we will host nice groups,”
Rameez Raja
I can recognize problems about bilateral cricket; however, the Asia Cup is a multi-nation tournament. It is just like a world cup for the Asian region people.
“Why provides it to Pakistan in the 1st place and so build all those statements regarding India not traveling to Pakistan? I am sure that India will not come as a result of the govt will not permitting them to come here – fine. However, shifting the location of the Asia Cup from the host is not right,” the PCB boss added further.
Raja collectively clears that whenever the subject is mentioned with the BCCI, the Indian board cites ‘political interference’ as the reason. Apart from that, as per him, there is no such reason for India to come to Pakistan.
“Both boards have to be compelled to return to terms with whether or not we would like to play one another or not?” Ramiz Raja said. “Pakistan is willing, however, they quote political interference. You cannot work once there’s political interference. They quote the govt does not permit it, in order that kills the talk. There’s no reason why India could not visit Pakistan and Pakistan Team comes to India.”
The topic is under discussion between the 2 boards. The Asia Cricket Council also the 2 countries’ governments a few times. But in all it looks like, India is not going to arrive in Pakistan now.
