“Might as well announce PSL 2023 calendar,” PCB chairman takes a dig at Jay Shah for presenting the schedule for Asia Cup of which Pakistan is the event host

Following PCB chief Najam Sethi’s sarcastic jab at BCCI secretary Jay Shah for “unilaterally announcing” the Asian Cricket Council’s two-year calendar, the simmering tension between the India and Pakistan cricket boards was palpable. The marquee Asia Cup is scheduled to take place in September of this year, but the specific schedule and the host nation have not yet been revealed, according to Shah, who is the chairman of the ACC.

The BCCI does not want to play in Pakistan because of political tension between the two nations, despite Pakistan being the original host of the Asia Cup this year.

“Thank you Jay Shah for unilaterally presenting ACC structure & calendars 2023-24 especially relating to Asia Cup 2023 for which Pakistan is the event host. While you are at it, you might as well present structure & calendar of our PSL 2023! A swift response will be appreciated,” Sethi tweeted.
