What is the Asia Cup venue dispute in 2023? The ASIA Cup 2023 is scheduled to take place in Pakistan, but team India will not go there. Therefore, the PCB (Pakistan Cricket Board) must either find a neutral location for the tournament or attempt to hold it without India, which appears implausible. Update: India will play their matches in Sri Lanka.
