Pakistan to host Asia Cup T20 in 2020

"Hosting" doesn't mean matches will be played in Pakistan. If India and Bangladesh have agreed to this arrangement, we shouldn't be too much hopeful.

Forget India, if other countries can participate, then you guys should go ahead schedule the Asia Cup.India should go to Pakistan and play the series...

well if Indian politicians get involved in this again then i don't see India playing in Pakistan, i think Pakistan will go ahead with that but it will be quite boring without Pak vs Ind matches.

India will say that they will not go to pakistan and matches will be held in Dubai

Bangladesh too...
Probably Afghanistan as well

no seriously bro Sports and politics should never be mixed together, India has great influence on ICC but i wouldn't say that its controlled by BCCI.

Fine line but I accept that. Let's just say it was far too much influence.

Indian board did try to have their match against Pakistan cancelled or something, right? Whatever happened to poor guy, Srinivasan and his ambitions to rule ICC? Well at least he kept politics and sports separate.
Let be realistic here, India has more influence and rightly so too but it doesn't control ICC and it never can as long as England and Australia are there.

There was never any real push for that. Mere grandstanding by the current Govt. England and especially Australia are happy to toe the Indian line.

Hahaha, how happy you seem to bring politics in sport. Only India can do that.

Politics has always been part of sport. Black glove raised. Recent kneeling by African American athletes. Suspension of South Africa. Boycott of LA and Moscow Olympics. Why blame India alone?

Anyway, I believe Pakistan should play. I don't think it people will still be comfortable with going there to play.

Unlikely to happen. Cricket has been used as a political tool by Modi, and he will continue with that policy in the future as well, no shocking surprise there.

Pakistan need to arrange some series before that so that security threat cannot be used as an excuse by others. Maybe have a series with England or Australia before that tournament.

Otherwise I don't think anyside other than Sri Lanka would come. Anyway best of luck. Hope international cricket returns to Pakistan.

News is out. It will be played in UAE or any other neutral venue while Pak will retain host status
