"2023 ACC event in Pakistan will be a 50-over competition & will be held in September" : Ramiz Raja

The ACC meeting, chaired by Jay Shah, the secretary of BCCI, has recognised that it is the turn of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to host the event and the Pakistan board, as it has been maintaining in the recent times, has declared that it will not host the event at a neutral venue, but in Pakistan only,” as per a media report

The decision, it is understood, is a unanimous one. Sources from both the BCCI and PCB have confirmed the decisions. The exact schedule of the events will be finalised soon but the 50-over Asia Cup, incidentally, will be staged in a 50-over World Cup year that has been allotted to India"
 
Jay Shah can barely string a sentence together. His daddy won't stand for this, especially 1 year before polls.
 
2023 is still far away a lot can happen by than I hope and pray we can host it with no problems but again only Time will tell
 
Yeah, there’s no way India are travelling to Pakistan in the next 20 years. And even if they were we’d have to tour them first.
 
Another dangling of the carrot.

NZC, ECB, CA next and then ACC.

To ensure you don't pull out 10 minutes before the toss in the one game that is going to subsidize the whole tournament.

After next Sunday, it'll be business as usual.
 
Was nice to see Jay Sean and Ramiz Raja standing together after the meeting. Maybe Ramiz was secretly invited to the IPL final as well?
 
India won't turn up, or they'll send a B team. Thus Pakistan will host a dull affair which no one will care about.
 
Good news. I hope this Asia Cup also begins a new era of Ind-Pak series. Fans have been deprived of excellent cricket because of politics. Time to put this non-sense to an end.

Maybe the Rambo effect.....

But it will take more than Ramiz Raja to improve Indo-Pak cricket relations.
 
A laddoo for not putting a target on India in the WC Match. Heard he was invited by Jay Shah for individual meeting but he did not go.
2023 is far away did he get a signed MOU for this?

This was a random guess

It turns out he actually was invited.

Something is brewing, after a long time it seems that the wind is blowing from the other direction as Amitabh Bachan would say in Mohabbatain!

Abhi Mohabbatein and later a Prem Chopra type invitation to haveli.
You never know what BCCI will do.
 
It would be remarkable if India tours Pakistan and helps PCB make some money, we would be better than the western ones.
 
Good news ,hope india Pakistan bilateral series start after this and first series should be held in Pakistan .

There is never gonna be another Pak-India match neither do I want one outside the ICC tournaments. If that means PCB losing more money then so be it. I know many Pakistanis will disagree with me.

Dont read too much into this, Pakistan was supposed to host the next Asia Cup but its been given to Sri Lanka now. Like [MENTION=9]Saj[/MENTION] initially reflected, it does seems to be a carrot. One year before the polls i doubt the Indians would send their team. Good on raja to not go for the IPL final, its entrapment.

With the ACC meeting taking place in the backdrop of the New Zealand and England pull-outs and some allegations from the Pakistan side over Indian hand in those decisions, there was a lot of significance to the meeting as the BCCI and PCB were sharing one platform for the first time with new chairman Ramiz Raja representing the latter. However, it was learnt that the meeting was cordial.

In fact, Jay Shah invited Raja to the final of the IPL. The PCB chairman, who used to be a regular commentator for the IPL, expressed inability to attend as he was returning home on Friday itself (October 15).
Indian media is reporting this atm.
 
Problem is people dont read enough threads!

The Ramiz invitation thing was reported by ARY as well and is in the IPL Final thread
 
Dont think it would happen. India had to host Asia Cup in UAE because Pakistan didnt want to play in India and I think India will return the favour. This is just a eyewash.

Pakistan didn’t want to play in India or India didn’t want to host Pakistan in India?
 
India have worked out how to hurt Pakistan the most.
Say your coming and then pull out a day before the first match over a terror threat.

India will tour Pakistan when my great great grandkids die.
 
Probably another lollypop for Pakistan. 6 Months before the event starts it will be shifted to the UAE.

I think everyone on this forum knows this now.

PCB will probably fall for it again. What a bunch of morons. It has BCCI MoU written all over it.
 
Pakistan may host the 2023 world cup but the games won't be in Pakistan. Who is going to foot the astronomical cost of providing security for all teams for a month. No way can the cities be brought to a standstill, inconveniencing thousand's for the duration of the games.

I am willing to bet that if we host the tournament, the games will be moved to UAE

Lahore, 18 October 2021: Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Ramiz Raja today said the 2023 ACC Cup in Pakistan will be a 50-over competition. He was talking to PCB digital following his return from Dubai, where he also met the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) officials.

“The ACC has agreed and approved that the 2023 event in Pakistan will be a 50-over competition and will be held in September. This aligns very nicely with the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023, which will be held in October and November.

“We are looking forward to hosting this tournament in Pakistan and I am confident it will be a well-organised event because this is what the fans want.

“The ACC has also confirmed next year’s tournament in Sri Lanka will be played on a 20-over format and will be a prelude to the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 to be held in Australia from 16 October to 13 November.”

On the ACC, Mr Ramiz Raja said: “The ACC was set-up to create a unified approach and collective stance so that we had one voice and if there was a situation, all stood together. I would like to see our relationship with other boards and the ACC to be strong so that if there is an issue, like we had with the withdrawal of a couple of sides, a strong and joint statement could come out from the ACC platform.

“My message at the ACC was that we should not forget this philosophy and I am optimistic there will be better outcomes in future.”

On his meeting with the BCCI officials, Mr Ramiz Raja said: “I met with BCCI President Sourav Ganguly and secretary Jay Shah on the sidelines of the ACC meetings. We need to create a cricketing bond, while I have also believed that politics should stay away from sport as much as possible and this has always been our stance.

“A lot of work needs to be done to revitalise Pakistan-India cricket but there needs to be some comfortable level between the two boards and then we can see how far we can go. So overall, we had a good discussion.”

I like this , would be nice to see when this happens.

Pakistan hosting ACC and India hosting CWC in 2023. If Pakistan fails to host to India then for 2023 India will have to join hands with either Srilanka or Bangladesh to host Pakistan just like 2011 CWC have a Mohali Semi’s but this time hopefully no Misbah near the team. :afridi

Who loses more money when India - Pakistan matches are called off.

Nice Rambo. If India pulls out in ACC he has a chance to pull off Pak from 2023 CWC
 
We don’t have a single world class stadium in the country. I don’t know how we can even host elite teams in the near future.
The security situation is so delicate that things can change within hours, as we just saw in the recent past.
So I highly doubt that this event is going to actually happen as intended.
 
Karachi, April 2023 :

ACC meeting held in PCB headquarter in Lahore today and was attended by all ACC members barring BCCI president Saurav Ganguly as he was not doing well lately. ACC members lauded the arrangements made by PCB to host Asia Cup and also congratulated PCB chairman for the hospitality; however it was decided unanimously that Asia Cup to be postponed because of logistical issues related to World Cup. ACC president, Mr. XYZ Sharif (some random person from PCB) has said PCB is very much confident to host Asia Cup next year if there is a suitable window for all the participating board members. He claimed, "Fans duas have worked. We now have more representation in ACC than ever before; and Inshallah next year Pakistan will host the tournament in Pakistan's Sarzameen in front of our fans"
 
PCB hierarchy trying a different approach.

The arm round the shoulder with the friendship route.

I'm afraid that whilst it all sounds good, I'm not sure how much difference it will actually make.

hmm... this talk about Asian bloc does not resonate anymore. Ramiz is still thinking about the 80s and 90s when this part of world could benefit from showing a united front against the western bloc. However, now, Indian cricket is strong enough, financially, that they do not need to form a union of any sorts to generate importance - they are meaningful by themselves.

So, yeah, I do not why BCCI would agree to such an approach when it'll only benefit the smaller players in Pak/Bang/SL

Saj bhai, asian bloc is an absolute hogwash. This is MOU, big 4 drama redux and the morons at pcb are being taken for a ride again.

Couple of facts to consider:

1) Pakistan was supposed to host the next asia cup, its been given to Sri Lanka, why??

2) India has an election year in 2023, no way in hell they come to Pakistan

Is ramiz raja this damn thick?

It was given to SL in 2020 for COVID related reasons. SL were in a position to host it more easily then. However, some delays due to packed schedules due to catching up on COVID hit matches have occured and so it was eventually pushed to 2022.

It's the taken for a ride syndrome.

It's happened many times before to the PCB but they never learn and keep falling for this again and again.

Come the time, the Asia Cup is likely to be cancelled or even if it goes ahead, BCCI will not send their team.

Is it scheduled before or after the World Cup?
 
2023 is bit far away but I do not see any Indian team touring to Pakistan for a long long time.
But, boy I do hope PCB pull something like this for tournaments in India and show some guts for once.
 
Imho, one must ask how come the lot are all suddenly becoming way too friendly, offering series, tournaments, etc. My take is its just dangling a carrot because rambo went in with a spine/hard stance unless like the straw chairmen we had. They are fearing that maybe just maybe rambo might pull out of series or certain wc games or the whole wc in the last minute. Once tourny is over, they will start showing their colors again. Especially Bcci being very buddy buddy of late.
 
To Pak fans who are now *complaining* that it is getting a bit friendly with India off late:

1) What is wrong with a friendly approach?
2) Are you clear about what you exactly want? Do you want to play or not play India?
3) Ramiz is going about things the right away. He is being practical and not letting ego dictate the strategy which is a rare trait amongst south asians - what qualifications do you have to question his approach?

No one is complaining mate

It’s just that the hate in the last few years has been so much between the two countries. A lot of people are struggling to come to terms with this sudden change in the mood. I was watching Aaj Tak and the hosts on the show kept on reiterating that the diplomatic ties between India and Pakistan have not come to an end and are still on going.

I honestly didn’t know Indians actually still have diplomatic ties with Pakistan
 
Even if the newfound bonhomie is because of Ramiz's arrival on the scene, knowing the way things work in Pakistan cricket, he will already be 2 chairmans ago by the time this date in 2023 comes around.
 
It will be exciting if india wins Asia Cup in Pakistan ! I hope and pray it happens in Pakistan. Atleast it will be little interesting this time.

This basically is what will happen, pretty much word for word. Get ready to bump the thread in April(ish) 2023!

It will NOT happen.

Rameez should focus on the present. The T20 WC is about to start and our middle order has 45 years Malik and Hafeez in it!

Its beyond pathetic, I mean how low can you sink.
 
The reason cricket is a joke is because we are considering a continent wide tournament a few months before the world cup...even though the continental tournament has 60% of the teams competing in the WC.

Make the Asia cup a T20 cup in 2023 so there isn't a risk of overkill and compromising the premier event in cricket.
 
So if it is before the 50 over World Cup, it will be interesting to see if India pulls out. They need the entire tournament to be cancelled

It would be like if the Euros in football were held two months before the WC.

What is low about it? I was never a Shoaib fan where as Hafeez despite his age is a good choice. We are not exactly bursting with talent at the moment, are we?? I wouldn't have any sleepless nights if the meaningless Asia Cup is never played again.
 
The Asia Cup has become a useless, pointless tournament because India is too strong relative to other Asian teams.

Their second and third string sides have more talent and skill than the first choice sides of Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Afghanistan.

I don’t see India playing their first team in the Asia Cup in the near future - they play too much cricket against the other top teams to prioritize a worthless tournament like the Asia Cup.

Besides, as far as Pakistan hosting the tournament is concerned, PCB will thump its chest for a year or so before BCCI will pull the rug underneath its feet by refusing to tour Pakistan.

PCB will whimper a bit and throw tantrums, but ultimately, the tournament will be played in UAE and BCCI will have its way. You love to see it.
