If India Doesn’t Come: Pakistan Cricket Board chief Ramiz Raja has insisted that if the Indian cricket team does not participate in the Asia Cup, which is scheduled to be held in Pakistan next year, their team will also not play in the ICC ODI World Cup in India.
Ramiz Raja said that PCB’s stand is firm on the matter if India decides not to travel to Pakistan for the Asia Cup. Remarkably, the 2023 Asia Cup will be held before the ODI World Cup one year from now.
Ramiz emphasized Pakistan’s superior cricket performance over the past two years, including victories over India twice (T20 World Cup 2021 and Asia Cup 2022). If India chooses not to travel to Pakistan for the Asia Cup, Ramiz stated that the PCB’s position on the matter is firm.
“Our position is clear: if they (the Indian team) come, we will go to the World Cup; if they don’t, let them go. Allow them to play with Pakistan out. Who will see the World Cup in India next year if Pakistan does not participate?
We will be aggressive, our team is performing well, we have defeated the most profitable cricket team in the world, and we have played in the T20 World Cup final.
I have always maintained that Pakistan cricket’s economy must be improved, which can only happen if our team performs well, as we did at the 2021 T20 World Cup. Beat India, we beat India in the Asia Cup, and Pakistan’s cricket team has beaten the board of a billion-dollar economy twice in a year, according to Urdu News.
The Asia Cup, Pakistan’s most recent multi-nation event, took place in 2009.
After a terrorist attack in 2009 outside the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on the Sri Lankan team, international teams stopped touring the country.
Worldwide cricket got back to Pakistan when Zimbabwe visited the country for a three-match ODI series in 2015.
In 2017, Sri Lanka provided assistance as well, traveling to Pakistan only for one one-day international.
Since then, a number of teams have gone on tours of Pakistan, including Australia earlier this year. Only on JioSaavn.com can you listen to the most recent songs.
