New Delhi: Due to the second wave of Coronavirus, India has bad conditions. A similar atmosphere is now gradually prevailing in the neighboring country of Sri Lanka. The Asia Cup has been canceled due to the rising corona virus in Sri Lanka. The Asia Cup was last held in 2018. At the same time, Asia Cup is not likely to happen this year. In such a situation, the Asia Cup is planned to be held for two consecutive years in 2022 and 2023.According to the news of Cricinfo, Pakistan can host the tournament in 2022 and Sri Lanka in 2023. Earlier, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) President Ehsan Mani had made it clear that if India manages to qualify for the final of the World Test Championship, then the Asia Cup in June this year is likely to be postponed. They said that the dates are colliding. We feel that the tournament will not progress further and we may have to extend the tournament till 2023.Let us tell you that Asia Cup has not been held after 2018. The tournament had to be postponed in 2020 due to the corona epidemic.Earlier, there has been talk of organizing the Asia Cup in Pakistan but BCCI has always refused to play in Pakistan. In such a situation, if the tournament is held in Pakistan next year, then whether Team India will go to Pakistan, it would be wrong to say anything.Team India has not been to Pakistan since 2008. A bilateral series is also not being held due to a dispute between the two countries. Only 57 matches have been played between Team India and Pakistan. The relationship between India and Pakistan tends to be shorter than the bilateral series due to deterioration. Teams clash in matches in the Asia Cup or ICC tournament itself.
