Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has once again made its stand clear that Indian cricket team will t travel to Pakistan for ACC Men's Asia Cup later this year. In an emergency meeting called by Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Najam Sethi, it has been decided that Asia Cup will be moved to a nuetral venue due to restrictions on Indian team for ir travel to Pakistan.

political and diplomatic tensions between India and Pakistan will reportedly see Asia Cup being shifted to a third nation. Pakistan is host nation for Asian Cricket Council's marquee event and BCCI has reiterated that it has problem with PCB hosting tournament but Indian team won't be able to participate if it's being held in military-run country. So, if reports are to be believed, Asia Cup will eir be hosted in UAE or Sri Lanka ahead of ICC Cricket World Cup, which is scheduled to take place in India.
