New Delhi. The Asia Cup is going to start from August 20. The first match will be played between Pakistan and Nepal. On August 25, such news came to the fore, which surprised the entire Indian fans. In fact, there was news that the Pakistan Cricket Board has invited BCCI Vice-President Rajiv Shukla and President Roger Binny for the Asia Cup match on September 5. Both may visit Pakistan in the coming days. A BCCI source has given the reason behind this.
A BCCI source told Times Now that BCCI secretary Jay Shah is also the president of the Asian Cricket Council. Therefore, it is their responsibility to participate in this on behalf of the Board. Our idea is not to ignore Pakistan at all. Especially when he is organizing such a big tournament as well. We want to take them along.”
Not Rohit, Virat or Babar! Kallis said that this player will do the most in World Cup 2023No
Unlikely to be a bilateral series
Can Indo-Pak bilateral series be played in future? On this question, the source said, “Nothing like this has happened yet. For this permission has to be taken from the government. This will also be discussed if necessary.”
Let us tell you that for the first time after the 26/11 attacks, senior officials of BCCI are going to Pakistan. The last bilateral series between India and Pakistan was played in the year 2012-13. That too in India. No series has been played between the two teams since then. Two teams participate only in ICC tournaments.
Will go to Pakistan on September 4
The report also said that Rajiv and Roger Binny would cross the Wagah border to Pakistan. He will also have a dinner with senior officials including PCB chairman Zaka Ashraf in Lahore on the same day. Total 6 teams are participating in this tournament. 2-2 teams from both the groups will reach the top 4. The team that performs well there will reach the finals.
