Pakistan doesn't have any security concerns: Shahid Afridi urges India to tour neighbours for 2023 Asia Cup

India Today  

Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi has urged the Indian men's cricket team to tour Pakistan for Asia Cup 2023 and take the first steps towards improving bilateral relations. While Pakistan is the designated host country for Asia Cup 2023, BCCI secretary Jay Shah stated last year that India will not travel to their neighbour country for the tournament, and that the continental showpiece must be held in a neutral location. India's last tour of Pakistan was in 2008 to play the Asia Cup, and the last bilateral series on Pakistani soil was in 2006. Pakistan's most recent visit to India was for the 2016 T20 World Cup, which also marked Afridi's final appearance for his country.
