Let us tell you that India had refused to go to Pakistan for Asia Cup 2023 and after that it was proposed by PCB to play it in hybrid model. After many hiccups, it was finally approved by the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) to play in the hybrid model. Although earlier PCB Management Committee Chairman Zaka Ashraf had expressed opposition to the Asia Cup being held in the hybrid model, but later he approved it. Although 9 matches of Asia Cup 2023 will be organized in Sri Lanka, but its hosting will remain completely in the hands of Pakistan. This time the Asia Cup will be organized in ODI format in view of the ODI World Cup this year.
