The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Thursday (October 13) released its schedule for the next year. In addition to participating in the Women’s T20 World Cup in South Africa, the schedule also mentions Kohli’s participation in the Asia Cup on Pakistani soil. And there is an ODI World Cup at home.

India’s last tour of Pakistan was in June 2008. Pakistan last played a bilateral series in India in January 2013. Since then, the Pakistan Cricket Council (PCB) and the BCCI have not been able to organize any bilateral series due to the political conflict between the two countries.

Meanwhile, India’s participation in the Asia Cup to be held in Pakistan is yet to be confirmed. Because the BCCI will need permission from the Indian government to go to play in Pakistan. However, if the party is sent to Pakistan a year before the general elections, the country’s government is also thinking that there may be a political reaction.

In the end, if the matter gets stuck, Then India will go a different way. That is, instead of Pakistan, the Asia Cup may be held again in the United Arab Emirates. Earlier, the last Asia Cup was to be held in Sri Lanka, but due to political reasons, it was later moved to the Middle Eastern country.

However, it can be said that the BCCI is optimistic about the tour for the time being. Jay Shah, secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India( BCCI), is also the head of the Asian Cricket Council. Who is directly involved in organizing the Asia Cup?
