Najam Sethi and Jay Shah (Image Source: Twitter)
The Asia Cup 2023 was scheduled to take place in Pakistan. But, before the 20-20 World Cup 2022, the secretary of the Indian Cricket Board, Jay Shah said that India will not travel to Pakistan. Even, the tournament will take place in a neutral venue. Hearing that, then PCB Chairman, Ramiz Raja said that the Men in Green will also not visit India for the 2023 ODI World Cup if India do not come for the Asia Cup in Pakistan.

However, after Ramiz Raja’s removal, Najam Sethi became the new PCB Chairman. On 5 January, Jay Shah shared a tweet where he shared all the schedules of Asian Cricket in 2023 and 2024. But, the current PCB Chairman did not like it and took a dig at Jay Shah on Twitter. Now, on 4 February 2023, Asian Cricket Council's (ACC) emergency meeting took place in Bahrain.
The Asia Cup 2023 is most likely to get shifted to UAE from Pakistan - Reports
A close source to the Indian Cricket Board said: "PCB's newly elected chief Najam Sethi wants an urgent meeting with ACC chief and members and he expressed this wish in front of ACC members during ILT 20 opening ceremony in Dubai. Now the meeting will be in Bahrain and the main agenda of the meeting is to decide the fate of the 2023 Asia cup, whether it will be held in Pakistan or not. Most likely it will be held in another country rather than Pakistan."
The main purpose behind that meeting was to decide the fate of Pakistan hosting the 2023 Asia Cup. But, after the meeting, several reports came out that an update on the same matter will be taken at the next ACC Executive Board Meeting. That meeting will take place in March 2023. Reports also came out that the tournament is going to get shifted from Pakistan to UAE. Now, on 5 February, a Pakistan journalist tweeted that as per reports in their country's media, the Men in Green are going refuse to go to India for the World Cup if the Asia Cup does not happen in their country as per scheduled.
Here is how fans have come up with some trolling tweets over Pakistan:
