Islamabad: Sri Lankan Cricket Board (SLC) is ready to betray Pakistan and support BCCI on the issue of 2023 Asia Cup, Indian media reported yesterday. Indian media reported that an official of SLC said that they are ready to host the Asia Cup but the matter will be decided in the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) meeting.

Asia Cup 2023 was scheduled to be played in Pakistan but Indian board wanted it to be moved out of Pakistan due to political issues. Indian board Secretary General Jay Shah, who is also son of Home Minister Amit Shah, invited the officials of Sri Lankan and Afghanistan board at Indian Premier League (IPL) and persuaded them to vote against Pakistan.

Sri Lankan board was offered an opportunity to host the mega event, although Sri Lanka had failed to host the last Asia Cup due to economic situation.
