The Asia Cup is going to be held in Pakistan at the beginning of the new year. BCCI has already announced that India will not participate in the Asia Cup if it is held in Pakistan. Besides, the 50-over World Cup will be held in India next year. And in this situation, Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman Ramiz Raja threatened the Indian Cricket Board. Ramiz clearly stated, “If India does not participate in the Asia Cup, then Pakistan will not come to India to play the World Cup.” The 50-over World Cup will be held in India in 2023. Just before that, the Asia Cup is supposed to be held in Pakistan. The Pakistan Cricket Control Board has come under pressure for refusing to go to Pakistan to play the Asia Cup. In a press conference, PCB Chairman Ramiz Raja said in a threatening tone, “If India does not participate in the Asia Cup, then Pakistan will not come to India to play the World Cup.” Ramiz claimed that the Pakistan cricket team has been playing good cricket for the past two years. Our position is clear. All I can say is that the World Cup will have to be played without Pakistan. And if Pakistan does not play the World Cup, then there will be no audience to watch the World Cup in India. Without Pakistan, the World Cup will be a flop in India. We will be aggressive in this regard. Our team is playing well. Losing the big team. T20 World Cup final played. I have repeatedly said that the financial improvement of the Pakistan Cricket Board will only happen when the team plays well. Ramiz Raja also said that we lost India in the 2021 T20 World Cup. I also lost in the last Asia Cup
