BCCI officials confirm their visit to Pakistan for 2023 Asia Cup: report

Roger Binny, the current President of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), along with the Vice President, Rajeev Shukla, have confirmed the tour of Pakistan, according to a media report.

In a statement, Roger stated that he and the Vice President, Rajiv Shukla, will arrive in Pakistan on September 4. They will also watch Asia Cup matches in Pakistan besides official receptions.

Roger further said that he has no hesitation in going to Pakistan; his visit to Pakistan has always been memorable. Pakistanis are very hospitable hosts.

Roger also said that he hopes that his visit to Pakistan will benefit the cricket relations between Pakistan and India. Pak-India matches are the biggest and most-watched contests in Asia.

It is worth noting that Roger Binni will tour Pakistan after 18 years; the last time he came to Pakistan was in 2005 for the Asian Cricket Council's camp.

Previously, as reported by Cricket Pakistan last week, the President of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) and BCCI Secretary Jay Shah, was invited by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to watch the opening match of the Asia Cup.

The 2023 Asia Cup is set to be held in Pakistan and Sri Lanka between August 30 and September 17, with Pakistan taking over Nepal on August 30 in Multan.
