BCCI Secretary and Asian Cricket Council Chairman Jai Shah has been invited by Pakistan for the first match of the Asia Cup which starts in Pakistan at the end of this month.
The Asia Cup will begin on August 30 with a match between Pakistan and Nepal in Multan. Four matches including this match are being played in Pakistan. All other teams except India have matches in Pakistan. All India’s matches will be played in Sri Lanka.
Pakistani media reports that Jai Shah was invited by the Pakistan Cricket Board for the Asia Cup during the ICC meeting held in Durban. Apart from Jai Shah, Pakistan has also invited the heads of other cricket boards and the heads of the Asian Cricket Council.
Teams including Australia, England and New Zealand have already toured Pakistan. The Pakistan Super League is currently being played in Pakistan. But after a long gap, a multi-national tournament is being held in Pakistan.
Pakistan had put a lot of pressure on India to make it to the Asia Cup. Pakistan even threatened to boycott the World Cup. But none of this cost the BCCI, but Pakistan managed to get the BCCI’s consent for the hybrid model.
