Former Pakistan spinner Danish Kaneria, while sharing his take on the Asia Cup schedule which was long mired in controversy and debate, stated that India-Pakistan clash likely came after the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) received approval from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). 

In the detailed fixtures announced by the ACC on Saturday, India and Pakistan are set to meet in the Asia Cup group stage clash on September 14.

The announcement came just days after a highly sensitive episode involving the India Champions team, which had withdrawn from a scheduled clash against Pakistan Champions in the World Championship of Legends.
