The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has held to its firm stance on not participating in the World Cup 2023, to be held in India.
The decision comes as a backlash to the Board of Control for Cricket (BCC) Secretary, Jay Shah, refusing to participate in the Asia Cup scheduled in Pakistan.
The BCC has proposed to play at a Neutral Venue. As per reports, PCB officials stated in a meeting with the ICC that the team will only visit India if the government allows it.
Recently PCB officials held a meeting with ICC Chairman Greg Barclay and Chief Executive Geoff Allardice over concerns about the Asia Cup and the World Cup.
The matter is still under discussion, and a solution is expected in the coming days. The World Cup 2023 schedule is also facing a delay due to the same issue.
As cricket fans all over the world wait for the two big tournaments, only time will tell where the matches will be played.
