Why has India refused to come to Pakistan?
India has refused to come to Pakistan for the 2023 Asia Cup due to security concerns. The two countries have a long history of political tension, and India has been reluctant to send its cricket team to Pakistan in recent years.
In 2008, a group of Pakistani terrorists attacked Mumbai, India, killing 166 people. This attack led to a further deterioration in relations between the two countries, and India has since refused to send its cricket team to Pakistan.
The Indian government has also cited security concerns for its decision not to travel to Pakistan for the 2023 Asia Cup. The government has said that it cannot guarantee the safety of the Indian team, and that it is not possible to provide the same level of security in Pakistan as in India.
The decision by India not to travel to Pakistan has been met with disappointment by cricket fans in both countries. The India-Pakistan cricket rivalry is one of the most intense in the world, and the fans were looking forward to seeing the two teams meet in the Asia Cup.
However, the decision by India is understandable, given the security concerns. It is unlikely that the two countries will be able to resume cricketing ties until the political situation improves.
