However, Pakistan Cricket Board are unlikely to give up that easily. As former PCB chief Ramiz Raja threatened, Pakistan may still play the pullout card and boycott World Cup 2023 in India. However, BCCI has already managed to win over other Asian Cricket Boards and PCB is isolated in its battle against BCCI.
“Whether Pakistan will visit India or not for World Cup, is their choice and ICC’s. BCCI and India welcome all the participating nations. As for hosting rights, Pakistan will still get to host it if it happens in the UAE. But a decision on that is still under discussion,” the BCCI official said.
