In the midst of the ongoing debate over the 2023 Asia Cup, former Pakistan all-rounder Abdul Razzaq offered an unexpected viewpoint, claiming that shifting the continental event to Dubai is the right decision.
The Asia Cup 2023 will be held in Pakistan in September. However, BCCI secretary Jay Shah, who is also the president of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC), stated last year that the Indian team will not travel to Pakistan for the Continental Championship and that the event should be moved to a neutral location.

Due to strained political tensions between the two countries, Pakistan and India have not played bilateral cricket and have only met in global tournaments or multi-team events since 2013.
The last time India visited Pakistan was for the 2008 Asia Cup, and the last time Pakistan visited India was for the 2016 ICC T20 World Cup. The two teams last met at the Men's T20 World Cup in Australia in 2022.
