The Asia Cup 2023 is still a hotly contested issue because the team’s ability to visit Pakistan will be contingent on the government’s approval at that time. According to Cricbuzz, the BCCI has distributed a schedule of Team India’s next matches (2023).
Following the 2023 ODI World Cup, which will be held in India, Babar Azam’s Pakistan are slated to host the Asia Cup, which will be played in a 50-over format. After 2008, BCCI intends to send the Men in Blue to Pakistan for the Asia Cup.
At the AGM scheduled for October 18, the BCCI president, Sourav Ganguly, is anticipated to be fired, and former World Cup champion Roger Binny is reportedly the front-runner to succeed him.
The Asia Cup 2023, which would most likely be played in the 50-over format will be hosted in Pakistan in the second half of 2023, just before the ODI World Cup, which will be held in India. Hence, the final call will be taken by Government of India.
The AGM report indicated that although the BCCI intended to send Team India to Pakistan, the Indian government will ultimately make the decision. Under the condition of anonymity, a source with knowledge of the development is reported in the article as saying, “It will be subject to the authorization of the Government of India as usual.”
Jay Shah, the BCCI secretary and executive director of the Asia Cricket Council, may have had an impact on the choice (ACC). In the meantime, a different AGM note has backed up a Cricbuzz claim about the Indian government’s decision to enhance the World Cup’s tax expenditure. “The tax authorities in India have now issued a 20% (excluding surcharges) tax order to the ICC for its broadcast earnings for the 2023 event. The BCCI is currently collaborating with the Ministry of Finance of the Government of India and has advocated strongly against this 20% (excluding surcharges) tax order. They are hopeful that a 10% (excluding surcharges) tax order will be issued in the near future “The note makes a point. On July 9, Cricbuzz published a report on this.
The BCCI further claims that because the cost will be absorbed by the BCCI, the additional tax expenditure results in a higher loss of revenue for the board. The note makes the point that “The Impact on BCCI’s revenue from the ICC, if a 21.84% withholding tax order is received by ICC is USD 116.47 million,” highlighting the fact that “Any tax costs incurred by the ICC for the 2023 event in India will be adjusted with the BCCI’s share of revenue from the ICC.” The 2023 World Cup will cost $533.29 million in total.
