At the same time, on this statement of PCB, former Indian team player Aakash Chopra has given a befitting reply. He said that, I can give in writing that the Pakistan team will have to come to India to play the World Cup. Not only this, the Asia Cup will also be held at neutral venue. Aakash Chopra believes that Pakistan gets huge amount from ICC and ACC. He can’t miss the World Cup.
Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel, ‘India does not take a single rupee from ACC. Whatever funds all the teams get from the ACC, India does not take it. India has been playing the role of elder brother in Asian cricket till now. It has been said that we will not go to Pakistan, so I can give it in writing that India will not go to Pakistan on tour. The Asia Cup will also be held at neutral venue, you can also take it in writing from me. Pakistan will also come to play the ODI World Cup (on India tour), you can also take it in writing.
He said, ‘All these things are confirmed, because if India is not there, then the Asia Cup cannot happen. Turn it off then. The Asia Cup is much smaller than the World Cup. If you leave the World Cup, then you will have to forget the huge amount you get from the ICC. I do not take these things seriously. If the 2023 Asia Cup will be held, it will be at a neutral venue, let’s assume that. Next year’s ODI World Cup will be held in India itself and all countries will come to play, also assume that.
