LAHORE: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) rejected the news of boycotting the Asian Cricket Council (ACC).
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has rubbished media reports suggesting the Pakistan team would boycott the upcoming 2023 Asia Cup, if the hybrid model proposed by Najam Sethi, is not accepted by ACC.
Sources said that the PCB has conveyed its position to the ACC regarding the hosting of the Asia Cup, but despite speculations and rumours, the board is determined that the tournament will be held under the hybrid model proposed by Pakistan.

Yesterday, the Indian Cricket Board had run the news through its media that Pakistan may boycott the Asia Cup if the ACC rejects the hybrid model and the Indian team does not go to Pakistan.
Officials of the Pakistan Cricket Board termed these statements as baseless and contrary to reality and said that they believe that there is a strong possibility of the tournament, but India has to give up its stubbornness.
Pending the Asian Cricket Council’s decision, the PCB has also planned to hold a tri-series in preparation for the upcoming World Cup 2023 in India. According to media reports, PCB may conduct a tri-series involving South Africa and Ireland.
