With BCCI secretary Jay Shah, who is also the president of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) standing firm in his stance that India will not tour Pakistan for the 2023 Asia Cup, matters between the BCCI and PCB got heated with Pakistan threatening to pull out of the ODI World Cup in India as well.
According to multiple reports in Pakistan and international media outlets, PCB chief Najam Sethi warned Shah at the ACC meeting in Bahrain, saying that if India pulls out of the Asia Cup, Pakistan will not be taking part in the World Cup to be held in India in October-November.
Sethi also told the ACC members that before the next meeting, the BCCI should speak to its government and make its stance clear on whether it will send its team for the Asia Cup, so that Pakistan can also discuss with the ICC about playing its World Cup matches in India.
