Since the last few months, the Asia Cup 2023 has been in talks. The particular reason behind this has been that is Board Of Control For Cricket In India (BCCI) didn’t agree to travel to Pakistan for the tournament due to security reasons.
This, however, didn’t go well with Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) as they said that they will boycott the Asia Cup 2023 if India didn’t travel. This led to many spats between the two cricketing boards and the future of the tournament looked in jeopardy.
But after that several meetings between then PCB chairman Najam Sethi and Jay Shah led to a hybrid model being proposed. The tournament will be played from 31st August to 17th September in Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Out of 13 games, 4 games will take place in Pakistan whereas 9 games will be played in Sri Lanka.

After this, Najam Sethi’s tenure as the PCB chairman concluded and Zaka Ashraf took over the charge. Since many reports have hogged the headlines that he has rejected his predecessor Najam Sethi’s “hybrid model” for the tournament, stating that the model isn’t justified as the tournament should be completely held in Pakistan.
