Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman accuses India of being afraid of losing to Pakistan in ICC ODI World Cup 2023 and raises doubts over venue selection for the much-awaited match.

The upcoming ICC ODI World Cup 2023 is already creating a buzz among cricket fans across the world. But recently, PCB Chairman Najam Sethi made a controversial statement, accusing the BCCI of being afraid of losing to Pakistan in both India and Pakistan. He questioned the Indian cricket team’s reluctance to travel to Pakistan for the Asia Cup in 2023, despite other Indian sports teams visiting the country recently.

Sethi’s comments came after the PCB proposed a hybrid model for hosting the Asia Cup, which did not gain much interest from other cricket boards. The BCB and SLC did not want to play in the UAE in the summer, just before the ICC Men’s ODI World Cup 2023.

Sethi also responded to the speculation surrounding the venue for the much-anticipated match between Pakistan and India, saying that politics might have been involved in the decision to play in Ahmedabad. He added that it gave the impression that the venue selection was a red herring being thrown in Pakistan’s way to warn them.
