New Delhi: Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Jay Shah on Wednesday denied the reports suggesting that he will be visiting Pakistan for the Asia Cup 2023.
“I have not agreed to anything. This is just plain miscommunication. Probably done deliberately or mischievously. I’ll not be making any visit," Jay Shah said.
The BCCI secretary Shah and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief Zaka Ashraf on Tuesday met on the sidelines of the ongoing International Cricket Council (ICC) meet in Durban where the two discussed the Asia Cup and 50-over World Cup.
It is being reported in the media that Shah accepted Ashraf’s invitation to visit Pakistan for Asia Cup fixtures.
However, Indian Premier League (IPL) chairman and CEC representative of BCCI at ICC, Arun Dhumal, has also denied such reports, saying “Whatever the reports, they’re completely false".
Meanwhile, the ‘hybrid arrangement’ of the Asia Cup tournament will stay, where Pakistan will host four games while Sri Lanka will host nine games including all knockouts and the final.
