Where is the Asia cup of 2023 Expected?
According to the Pakistan cricket board (PCB), the Asia cup will be hosted very soon in 2023 as they return to international tournaments in Pakistan. They have hosted a 50-over tournament since the 1996 ODI World cup.
So, Pakistan is expected to host the Asia cup in 2023. However, India is likely to pull out of the game because of its rivalry with Pakistan, as it’s an international tournament, so wherever it is being played, every team must participate.
