The battle of two boards are finally over. As BCCI vs PCB takes a backseat for the time being, Asia Cup 2023 Schedule is finally out. Rohit Sharma & Co will begin their campaign against Pakistan on September 2nd in Kandy. India are in Pool B alongside arch-rivals Pakistan and minnows Nepal. That alone should help both India and Pakistan sail through to Super 4 and guarantee at least 2 IND vs PAK clashes. The big and mouth-watering India vs Pakistan clash will be on September 2nd in Kandy while India Cricket Team take on Nepal on Sep 4th.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) was not in favour of having any games in Pakistan. In fact, it was the Indian board which refused to send Indian cricket team to Pakistan, the original host. However, with BCCI reluctantly accepting Hybrid Model, Pakistan managed to retain 4 games while Sri Lanka gets another 12 matches.
