India ready to travel to Pakistan for Asia Cup 2023

Pakistan will host the 2023 Asia Cup before the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup in India, scheduled in October and November.

As per Cricbuzz, India is open to travel Pakistan and it is certainly on the agenda of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). India's clearance will, however, be subjected to the government of the time.

India last visited Pakistan in 2008 for the Asia Cup where they lost to Sri Lanka in the final.  When contacted, the BCCI officials were reluctant to take a position but what is of significance is the fact that Jay Shah, the BCCI secretary, is the president of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC). 

"It will be subject to the clearance of the Government of India as always," said a BCCI official as per the publication. "There is always this alternative of hosting the event in the UAE, like this year's Asia Cup, but the BCCI note seems to be indicating otherwise."

On the other hand, India is set to take on Pakistan in their T20 World Cup 2022 tournament opener at the iconic MCG on October 23. 

The Men in Green have faced Team India thrice in one year, where they have won two games and lost one.
