CricketBCCI to accept hybrid model for Asia Cup on one condition: Report 

Srinagar: There is headway in the conduct of highly awaited Asia Cup with BCCI showing its willingness on accepting PCB proposed hybrid model for Asia Cup on one condition.

A report in Inside Sport has said that BCCI wants written assurance from PCB that it will travel to India for World Cup.

“With the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) gaining support from all other Asian nations, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is willing to go ahead with the hybrid model of Asia Cup. However, BCCI has put forth a new condition. It wants written assurance from the PCB on visiting India for the World Cup 2023 in October,” the report stated.

The report added that the BCCI is likely to officially accept the hybrid model during the Special General Meeting in Ahmedabad on May 27.

BCCI has been refusing to send their team to Pakistan for the Asia Cup and is keen on ensuring that the event is held at a neutral venue. 

However, the PCB is not interested in hosting the event outside Pakistan since it would affect its efforts with regards to the return of international cricket in the country.

In order to resolve the deadlock, the PCB presented the hybrid model with two options. In the first option, India will play their matches at a neutral venue whereas all other matches will be played in Pakistan.

 In another option, four matches of the group stage in the first phase will take place in Pakistan whereas the second phase, in which matches of the Indian team followed by the next stage matches including the final, will be played at a neutral venue.
