New Delhi: If reports are to be beloved, Pakistan is not willing to tour India for the World Cup if the Indian team doesn’t come to Pakistan for the Asia Cup or the venue of the event is shifted. As per reports, Najam Sethi has informed Jay Shah about Pakistan’s clear stance on the Asia Cup controversy.

“The PCB took particular exception to that and ESPNCricinfo understands that on Saturday their chief Najam Sethi told Shah that if India don’t play in Pakistan, Pakistan will consider not playing in India for the 2023 World Cup,” ESPNCricinfo’s report read.

Notably, former Pakistan chairman Ramiz Raja had also said that Pakistan won’t be playing the World Cup in India if the Men In Blue don’t feature in the Asia Cup in Pakistan. The controversy rose when BCCI secretary Jay Shah said that India won’t play in Pakistan and the BCCI will push for the change in venue.

A call on the issue will be taken in the next Asian Cricket Council meeting. As per reports, the BCCI is pushing to shift the Asia Cup to UAE.
