According to Pakistan Cricket Board chief Najam Sethi, the PCB has proposed that India can play their Asia Cup matches at a neutral venue while Pakistan and other competing teams play in the host country.

Sethi said they have sent the proposal to the Asian Cricket Council (ACC).

The BCCI had refused to travel to Pakistan due to political tensions between the two nations and had demanded the shifting of the continental championships to a neutral venue.

"We have decided on this hybrid model that Pakistan plays its Asia Cup matches at home and India their matches at a neutral venue and that is our proposal to the Asian Cricket Council," Sethi said at a press conference.

The Asia Cup, involving six teams, will be played from September 2 to 17, though the exact schedule of matches is yet to be announced due to uncertainty over the venue.
