Pakistan Cricket Board Ramiz Raja has said that the Pakistan cricket team would not travel to India for the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup in 2023 if the Men in Blue do not visit Pakistan for the Asia Cup 2023. 

Highlighting that the Babar Azam-led Men in Green had been playing good cricket and had defeated India twice in almost a year, the PCB chief questioned who would watch the World Cup if there is no Ind-Pak.

'Our position is blunt if India comes then we will go to the World Cup, if they don’t then let them do it. Let them play without Pakistan, if Pakistan does not play in the WC scheduled in India, who will see it?', Raja who now wants PCB to take an 'aggressive approach' said on Urdu News.
