New Delhi. Asia Cup 2023 is being played in both Sri Lanka and Pakistan. Being the host, some top Pakistani officials invited BCCI President Roger Binny and Rajiv Shukla to watch the match in Pakistan a few days ago. After his visit to Pakistan, the BCCI President has appreciated their hospitality. They have said that we were kept there like kings.
Roger Binny told ANI, “It was a great experience. Like in 1984 when we played a test match. Even then we were welcomed in the same way. We were treated like kings there. So it was a very good time for us. We were able to meet all the Pakistani officials and people of the Pakistan Cricket Board. They are also very happy to have us there. We also felt very good after going there. It was truly an amazing experience.

Political tensions between India and Pakistan do not lead to a bilateral series. Both countries can only play against each other in competitions organized by the Asian Cricket Council or the International Cricket Council. At first it seemed that there should be some talks between the two teams regarding the bilateral series. But after returning from Pakistan, Roger Binny has not given any good news about this.

Roger said, “Look, we can’t decide this. This matter is related to Govt. He will take decisions regarding this. Pakistan team is also coming to India to play the World Cup. Let it be known that the last time a bilateral series was played between India and Pakistan was in 2012-13. Then the Pakistan team toured India. After this India-Pakistan will fight only in ICC tournaments and Asia Cup.
