Challlllooooooo jee.
After exactly a decade, cricket is coming home as Pakistan has been nominated to host the Asia Cup in 2020.
And while this is a special honour for all of us to host the matches, it seems that a particular team across the border is not happy with the Pakistan Cricket Board acting as their hosts.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has refused to send their team for the Asia Cup in 2020.
The Times of India reported that the BCCI said sending their team to Pakistan is, ‘out the question.’ They went on to say, “Playing in Pakistan is out of the question and so the hosts have been told to think about an alternate arrangement.”
Unfortunately, even though it may sound absurd, this kind of behaviour is not unprecedented. In 2018, the Asia Cup was meant to take place in India however Pakistan refused to play in the tournament thus, the Cup was moved to the United Arab Emirates.
So in other words, though Pakistan has been given the opportunity to host the Cup, if India and Pakistan do not come to terms by then, all the teams will be making their way to the UAE.
Of course, all of this information has led to a bit of chaos on social media.

Once again, a controversy in the ASIA CUP
Last time, Vanues were shifted to the UAE, because Pak's entry in Ind was an issue
This time, when Pak are hosting, they have issue in Pak
I'll say it again, Double standards by the BCCI— saad arif (@saad_arif929) December 14, 2018
If they don't want to play in pak and pak are the host, They should forfeit
Clearly if that is the scenario, they will be able to influence Afg, Bang to walk out with them Pak will have SL's support but @TheRealPCB has to be firm#AsianCup2019 #AsiaCup #PakvInd @BCCI— saad arif (@saad_arif929) December 14, 2018
So looks as tho India won’t be taking part in the 2020 #AsiaCup #Cricket

It all depends on who wins elections in India. Players must support Modi to win asia cup.

It doesn't Matter if India refuses to play 2020 Asia Cup in Pakistan.
We should call our Sikh Brothers Team from India instead. Best time to recognized Sikh International Cricket Team.— yasir mehmood (@yeswaffen) December 14, 2018
It is clearly a bittersweet victory for Pakistan and we’ll just have to wait and see what the outcome turns out to be.
