BCCI secretary Jay Shah asserted that India will not travel across the border to Pakistan to play in the 2023 Asia Cup.

With the Asia Cup next year scheduled to be hosted by Pakistan, it was in doubt whether archrivals India would tour the country. Shah put an end to the speculations as he dropped the update following BCCI's AGM in Mumbai on Tuesday.

Shah, who is also the president of the Asian Cricket Council, hinted at moving Pakistan as hosts saying the tournament would have to be played at a different venue, most likely a neutral one.

"The Asia Cup 2023 will be held at a neutral venue. I am saying this as ACC President. We can't go there, they can't come here. In the past also, Asia Cup has been played at a neutral venue," Shah told the media after the AGM.

In accordance with the FTP, Pakistan are to host two major tournaments in the next three years -- the 2023 Asia Cup and the 2025 Champions Trophy. India are set to feature in both tournaments but judging by Shah's comments, it remains to be seen how these fixtures will pan out.

India and Pakistan have not played in a bilateral series since 2012. The men in blue last toured Pakistan for the 2008 Asia Cup, and Pakistan's latest outing in India was in the 2016 T20 World Cup.
