★Ehsaan Mazari, the minister in-charge of sports in Pakistan, has expressed his disappointment over the BCCI’s stance on the venue for the Asia Cup.
★Mazari stated that if India demands to play their Asia Cup games at a neutral venue, Pakistan would also demand the same for their World Cup games in India.
★The upcoming ODI World Cup is scheduled to take place from October 5 to November 19, but there is a lack of clarity on whether the Pakistan team would travel to India to participate in the tournament.
★Mazari’s remarks came after Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif formed a committee to discuss Pakistan’s participation in the World Cup.
★The committee will be headed by Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and will discuss the issue and give recommendations to the Prime Minister.
★Mazari highlighted successful visits of other international teams to Pakistan, such as the New Zealand and England cricket teams, and mentioned that security concerns raised by the BCCI are just an excuse.
★Mazari stated that Pakistan is the host of the Asia Cup and has the right to hold all the matches in Pakistan.
These comments from Mazari come amid tensions between the cricket boards of Pakistan and India. The BCCI has previously expressed concerns about the security of its players and officials in Pakistan. The two countries have a long-standing political and cricketing rivalry, and bilateral cricket ties have been suspended since 2012.
The decision on the venue for the Asia Cup and the participation of the Pakistan team in the ODI World Cup in India will have significant implications for cricketing relations between the two countries. Both tournaments are highly anticipated by fans and players alike, and any disruption or cancellation would be a major disappointment.
It remains to be seen how the BCCI will respond to Mazari’s comments and whether a resolution can be reached regarding the venue for the Asia Cup and the participation of the Pakistan team in the ODI World Cup. Cricket fans will be eagerly awaiting further developments in this ongoing saga.
