The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) will wait for the confirmation of Indian Cricket Board about its participation in Asia Cup which is scheduled in September next year.

“We need to see if India agrees to come to Pakistan for the Asia Cup. There is still some time till next year’s September but by June, we have to know where we are going with this and if it can’t be hosted here because of a lack of involvement of India,” Wasim Khan, the PCB CEO said.

However, the final decision to shift the tournament will be taken by Asian Cricket Council. He further commented about the problems in having any bilateral cricketing ties with India because of the political reasons.

“But that is a decision for the Asian Cricket Council and ICC to make. We are ready to have India in the Asia Cup,” Khan said. “Board to board level, we share a good relation with India but they have a lot of government interference and we can’t keep on running after them to play a bilateral series. If they want to play they will have to tell us and give us a firm commitment. We have no issues playing at a neutral venue.”
