The Cricket Asia Cup 2023 will be held in a hybrid model, with some matches being played in Pakistan and others in a neutral venue. The decision was made by the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) after considering security concerns in Pakistan.
The ACC said that the matches in Pakistan will be played in Karachi and Lahore, while the neutral venue has not yet been finalized. The tournament is scheduled to be held from August 31 to September 19, 2023.
The hybrid model has been met with mixed reactions from cricket fans. Some fans have welcomed the decision, saying that it will allow the tournament to be played in a safe and secure environment. Others have criticized the decision, saying that it will be unfair to the teams that have to travel to Pakistan.
The PCB has said that it is committed to providing a safe and secure environment for the Asia Cup 2023. The PCB has also said that it will work with the ACC to finalize the neutral venue for the tournament.
