Former Pakistan cricketer Shahid Afridi on February 16 claimed that International Cricket Council (ICC) won’t be able to do anything in front of BCCI as far as hosting the 2023 Asia Cup in his country is concerned.
The BCCI’s refusal to play in Pakistan owing to the political tension between the neighbours has raised doubts over the tournament taking place across the border later this year.
The tournament is significant as it is scheduled just before the ODI World Cup, which India is hosting and Pakistan has threatened to boycott in a tit-for-tat riposte.
