Was There Any Asia Cup Without an India vs. Pakistan Match?
India and Pakistan failed to meet at the 1986, 1991, and 1993 Asia Cups owing to different reasons. Both teams couldn’t play each other at Sri Lanka 1986 because India had political issues against the host country at that time.
Pakistan decided to not play in India when their rivals hosted the competition in 1991. In 1993, political turmoil between India and Pakistan led to the cancellation of a scheduled Asia Cup for that year.
