Union Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports, Anurag Thakur today strongly responded to Pakistan's threat of pulling out of the 2023 ODI World Cup.

The Minister said the ODI World Cup will take place next year in India and all big teams around the world will take part in it. He said that one can't ignore India in any sport. India has contributed a lot to sports, especially cricket.  The row started after Asian Cricket Council chief Jay Shah said on Tuesday that India will not travel to Pakistan for next year's Asia Cup and that the tournament could be shifted to a neutral venue.
