Pakistani players haven&rsquo;t travelled to India since 2013.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has assured the International Cricket Council (ICC) that all Pakistani players and support staff members will be granted visas for the ODI World Cup in October-November this year.
Pakistani players haven&rsquo;t travelled to India since 2013 but the Indian board has given its assurance to the ICC that the Men in Green will get their visas ahead of the marquee event.
Earlier, the Pakistani contingent was refused visa to travel to India for the T20 World Cup for the Blind last year.

Jasprit Bumrah to fly to New Zealand for back surgery

Jasprit Bumrah will soon fly out to New Zealand to undergo surgery on his back which has kept the pacer out of action since September 2022.
Interestingly, the same procedure had helped extend the career of former New Zealand spearhead Shane Bond. Since he is also the bowling coach of Mumbai Indians, Bond may have played a part in this decision.
Post-surgery, Bumrah will undergo rehabilitation for about 6 months, effectively ruling him out until September.
The 29-year-old already missed the Asia Cup and the T20 World Cup last year, and the BCCI is looking to get Bumrah fir for the 2023 ODI World Cup which kicks off in October.

Talking about the PCB, Afridi said that if anyone is unable to stand on his own feet, then the decision to make such strong calls is not easy. 'At the end it's making yourself strong and then take decisions,' he further added.

ACC informed that a concrete decision on the matter would be taken at the next ACC Executive Board Meeting in March 2023. 

Asia Cup 2023 likely to be moved out of Pakistan, venue to be decided in March

Asia Cup 2023 venue to be shifted from Pakistan?

Here's what BCCI secretary Jay Shah and PCB chairman Najam Sethi discussed during the formal meeting in Bahrain

ACC informed that a concrete decision on the matter would be taken at the next ACC Executive Board Meeting in March 2023.&nbsp;

The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) is expected to shift Asia Cup from Pakistan and decide on an alternate venue in March as BCCI secretary Jay Shah and PCB chairman Najam Sethi discussed the issue during a formal meeting in Bahrain on Saturday. All heads of ACC member nations attended the emergent meeting which was called at the behest of Sethi after the continental body released its itinerary and Pakistan wasn't named the hosts for the Asia Cup.
The Asia Cup was initially allotted to Pakistan and was scheduled in September this year but Shah, who is also the ACC chairman, had announced last October that India will not travel to Pakistan due diplomatic tension between the two nations.
"The ACC had a constructive dialogue on the upcoming Asia Cup 2023. The Board agreed to continue discussions on operations, timelines and any other specifics with a view to ensure the success of the tournament. An update on the matter would be taken on the next ACC Executive Board Meeting to be held in March 2023," ACC said in a statement.
While a decision will come only next month, a senior BCCI official privy to the development told PTI that it is highly unlikely that Pakistan will host the tournament.
"With India deciding against travelling to Pakistan, the tournament will have to be shifted. A tournament without Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill will have the sponsors back out," the official said.
One ACC insider said Sethi has just taken over PCB and if he had ceded ground on the hosting rights in the first meeting itself, then it would have led to a bad impression at home.
Pakistan is currently going through an economic crisis. The inflation has hit the country very hard as one USD is now equal to 277 Pakistani Rupee. Organising a high-profile tournament like Asia Cup, even if ACC pays a grant could burn a hole in PCB coffers.
So strategically, if the tournament is held in the UAE, there is every possibility that all the member nations will also get to earn apart from the broadcast revenues.
In another decision, the ACC has decided to increase the annual budget allocated for Afghanistan Cricket Association to 15 percent from six.
The ACC has assured that it will help the Afghanistan board in all possible ways so that women's cricket can be revived in the country. Women are banned from playing sport under Taliban rule.
The Executive Board also approved of the inclusion of teams from Japan and Indonesia in the ACC pathway tournaments to participate in the events as invitees.

BCCI Chief Selector Chetan Sharma has claimed that several top Indian players fake their fitness ahead of major tournaments by taking injections.
In a Zee Media sting operation that's sure to send shockwaves through Indian cricket, Sharma was caught on camera alleging a form of 'doping' by Indian stars.
The Chairman of the Senior selection committee, alleged many players in Indian cricket take injections to get fit even when they are not. He highlighted that several cricketers have their own doctors outside of the BCCI medical team who provide them with the supplies. He further said that some star players get a green signal from the National Cricket Academy even when they are not fully fit.

Chetan Sharma also added that Kohli tried to defame Ganguly in the media when he deliberately spoke about the change in captaincy ahead of India's South Africa tour as he felt it was the BCCI President behind his sacking.

In a sting operation carried out by Zee Media, BCCI chief selector Chetan Sharma claimed that ego problems between former BCCI president Sourav Ganguly and former Indian captain Virat Kohli was the main reason why Kohli lost ODI captaincy.
57-year-old Sharma revealed that the Kohli-Ganguly ego war started when Kohli called a press conference ahead of the South Africa tour and told the press that BCCI President never persuaded him not to step down as T20 captain.
The BCCI chief selector made it clear that Ganguly did ask Kohli to not quit captaincy in the shortest format during a video conference meeting where others were present. Sharma said Kohli probably didn't listen or might have missed what Ganguly said.
Chetan Sharma stated that 'Kohli tried to defame Ganguly in the media when he deliberately spoke about the change in captaincy ahead of India's South Africa tour as he felt it was the former Indian skipper behind his ODI captaincy sacking.'

Former Pakistan cricketer Abdul Razzaq feels it will be 'good for cricket' if the venue for the 2023 Asia Cup is shifted outside Pakistan.
The former all-rounder though blatantly called out BCCI for their stance of not sending the Indian team to Pakistan if the Asia Cup is hosted there. Razzaq is of the opinion that shifting the tournament to Dubai would be the best option for cricket and cricketers.
Former PCB chairperson Khalid Mahmood had earlier highlighted that it would be a weak tournament if India chooses to opt out and PCB will lose money.
Both the famed Pakistani personalities called hosting the tournament outside the nation a 'pragmatic solution'.
While Pakistan has the hosting rights for the 2023 edition of the Asia Cup, India has refused to participate in the event if the venue is not shifted outside of the neighbouring nation.

Former Pakistan cricket team skipper Javed Miandad lashed out at the Board of Control for Cricket&nbsp; in India (BCCI) for maintaining their stubborn stance on not going to Pakistan for the Asia Cup 2023.
"India can go to hell if they don&rsquo;t want to come to Pakistan to play cricket. I&rsquo;ve always backed Pakistan. And you know that I don&rsquo;t leave spare India whenever an issue arises. But the thing is we need to look at our part. And we should fight for it. We don&rsquo;t care because we are getting to host our cricket. This is ICC&rsquo;s job. If ICC can&rsquo;t control this there&rsquo;s no use of the governing body. They need to implement similar rules for every team. If teams like these don&rsquo;t come, they should be debarred. India hoga, apne liye hoga. Hmare liye nahi hai.&ldquo; said Javed in a public event.
&nbsp;&ldquo;Come and play. Why don&rsquo;t they? They run. For them it becomes a trouble if they come here and lose to us. The public there can&rsquo;t stomach it. It&rsquo;s always been the case. During our time, they used to not play because of the same reason. Riots and fighting take place there. The crowd there is very nasty. You would&rsquo;ve seen whenever India loses, to anyone, the crowd there burns down houses. When we used to play, they had faced such troubles.&rdquo; He added.
