Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Secretary Jay Shah on Wednesday denied the reports of accepting an invitation to visit Pakistan.
Earlier, Jay Shah has reportedly accepted Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) interim chief Zaka Ashraf’s invitation to visit Pakistan and watch an Asia Cup match here.
“I have not agreed to anything. This is just plain miscommunication. Probably done deliberately or mischievously. I’ll not be making any visit,” Jay Shah told Indian media.
Ashraf and Shah reportedly met on the sidelines of an annual ICC conference in the South African city of Durban. Reports say the meeting took place in a pleasant atmosphere.
At the meeting, the two sides discussed Pakistan’s hybrid model for Asia Cup and next year’s ICC World Cup in India. As Shah accepted Ashraf’s invitation to visit Pakistan, he invited the PCB chief to visit India and watch the next year’s World Cup there. Ashraf is said to have accepted Shah’s invitation.
