The tensions between the cricketing boards of India and Pakistan doesn't seem to end and the coming week could prove to be very crucial as far as the Asia Cup in concerned. "We have been invited to witness IPL play-offs in India and during that trip there will be discussions on the Asia Cup 2023. But I think the fate of Asia Cup 2023 will be decided over the next week or so" Silva told reporters in Sri Lanka on Sunday. It'll be interesting to see how the discussion end, as there have been calls of boycotting the 50-over World Cup completely by Pakistan depending on BCCI's stance on Asia Cup. The World Cup is scheduled to be played in India after the Asia Cup.
