The debate on whether India's cricket team will be traveling to Pakistan for the Asia Cup has been growing by the day. It started when Asia Cup president Jay Shah sent a letter to the ICC requesting to change the venue from Pakistan. The PCB asserted their protest and vowed that they would pull out of the World Cup in retaliation if their wishes were not met. However, while the two boards have passed ideas between them, the Pakistanis wanting India to come and fill their stadiums and the BCCI adamant in their standpoint, no conclusive decision has yet been made.

The latest development on the Asia Cup is that Pakistan and India have worked up a hybrid model. The tournament will stay in Pakistan, however, India's matches will be moved to either Dubai or Abu Dhabi - both being neutral venues. Though numerous cricket teams, such as England and Australia, have played out full-fledged series in the country without any security issues, there are some ex-cricketers who believe there is more than meets the eye. Imran Nazir, a former Pakistani star cricketer sees it as an attempt to conceal India's fear of competing on Pakistani soil.

Security isn't a problem. Just take a look at how many teams have been to Pakistan. Forget A teams, Australia has also visited. It is all a cover-up. In reality, India won't visit Pakistan for Asia Cup because they are afraid of losing. Security is just an excuse. Come play cricket with us. He said on the Nadir Ali Podcast, "When you start playing politics, there is no turning back."

It's been a whole decade since India made their last visit to Pakistan in 2006, and while they may have come up short in the Test series, they did manage to win the ODIs. Since then, Pakistan has already toured India on two occasions before ties were cut off in 2012/13, and now India and Pakistan only face each other during multi-nation ICC tournaments such as World Cups, Champions Trophy, or Asia Cups. Last year saw three matchups between the arch-rivals - twice in the Asia Cup and once at the T20 World Cup - where the tension was really tangible. According to Nazir, not being able to clash against Pakistan often is quite sad nowadays; but losing to them is something that India simply can't accept.

It is because of the level of excitement that people watch India vs Pakistan matches. Even we, as cricketers, believe India-Pakistan matches are essential for cricket to reach every corner of the world. Our country used to play a lot of cricket with them. They're such a balanced tea, but India cannot tolerate losing. "It's a game; you'll win some, you'll lose some," he said
