Asia Cup 2023 is going to start from Wednesday (August 30). In the first match of the tournament, Pakistan and Nepal will meet in Multan. This time the hosting rights of the Asia Cup are with the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). However, only four matches of the tournament will be played in Pakistan. At the same time, 9 matches including the final will be held in Sri Lanka due to the hybrid model. In fact, the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) adopted the hybrid model when the Indian team refused to play in Pakistan due to security concerns. The Indian team will play all the Asia Cup matches in Sri Lanka. Pakistan captain Babar Azam has expressed grief over the hybrid model in the Asia Cup.
Babar says that it would have been better if all the Asia Cup matches were held in Pakistan. “If you ask me it would have been better if the entire tournament was hosted by Pakistan but unfortunately nothing can be done about it,” Babar said at a press conference on the eve of the match against Nepal. We are ready for any event. is given to us. This involves traveling and playing back-to-back matches and we are ready for that. Let us tell you that after playing the match against Nepal, Pakistan will have to travel to Sri Lanka, where their team will face India. A high-voltage match between India and Pakistan will be played at the Kandy ground on September 2.
Why host Pakistan’s name is not on Asia Cup 2023 jersey? Is that really the reason
Pakistan has recently become the number one ODI team. Pakistan clinched the crown by sweeping Afghanistan in a three-match series. When asked about Babar becoming the team’s number one, the captain said, “He is the same player who has been playing for the last two years. Faced many ups and downs. We were criticized. It was said that this team has arrived, this team has arrived. Sometimes it was targeted as factionalism. I think the credit goes to the players, who didn’t pay attention to such things. In this team, we try to keep these things at bay. When you keep such things away, such results will follow. Today we are the number one team. I am very proud to be the captain. The entire country should be proud. You should support your players.
