The PCB wants the UAE to be the neutral venue for the 2023 Asia Cup:
The PCB wants the United Arab Emirates to be the neutral venue for the 2023 Asia Cup because it ensures that the gate money goes to them.

While they would prefer Dubai as it would generate more gate revenue, they are open to playing in another country (read Sri Lanka) as long as the ACC matches the gate revenue amount (0.5 million USD) than Sri Lanka Cricket.
