In a significant development for cricket fans across the subcontinent, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has finally accepted the Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) hybrid model proposal for the Asia Cup 2023. However, this acceptance comes with a crucial condition: Pakistan’s participation in the upcoming World Cup to be held in India.
Asia Cup 2023: 4 matches in Pakistan
The hybrid model, put forth by the PCB, suggests hosting the Asia Cup in both Pakistan and at a neutral venue – 4 matches in Pakistan, other at a neutral venue. This approach aims to foster bilateral cricket ties and revive the spirit of cricket between the arch-rivals.
The proposal has garnered attention and support from fans and cricket pundits alike, as it offers a unique opportunity to witness high-intensity matches between the two nations. The potential acceptance of this proposal could pave the way for more frequent and meaningful encounters between the two teams, enhancing the overall cricketing landscape in the region.
