The ongoing tussle between India and Pakistan over cricket is not taking the name of stopping. The ODI World Cup will happen in India this year, regarding which the Pakistan Cricket Board wants to play its matches in Bangladesh. However, BCCI didn’t respond regarding this. According to reports, the Pakistan cricket team will not come to India for the matches. They are demanding to take part in the ODI World Cup at a neutral venue.
This whole matter has come to the fore with the Asia Cup. Pakistan is hosting the Asia Cup. At the same time, the Board of Control for Cricket in India has categorically refused to play cricket in Pakistan. In such a situation, the Indian team will play its match in England in the tournament. Earlier BCCI had demanded that the Asia Cup should happen at a neutral venue. But Pakistan did not agree to this change.
After that, the dispute between the two boards kept increasing. Pakistan has also repeatedly threatened India that if the Indian team does not come here and play cricket matches, then they will also not participate in the ODI World Cup 2023. India is hosting the ODI World Cup 2023. And now Pakistan wants to play the ODI World Cup matches at a neutral venue.
Meanwhile, a news was coming on Wednesday that in view of Pakistan’s political tension with India, a hybrid model can be adopted under which the Pakistan cricket team will be seen playing in Bangladesh instead of India in their ODI World Cup match. If Pakistan’s team reaches the semi-finals or final, then the match will happen at a neutral venue.

Earlier, India and Pakistan didn’t play any bilateral series due to political reasons. In the last decade, both the teams have faced each other time and again in ICC tournaments and in Asia, whose venues have been neutral.
