NEW DELHI: The former chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), Najam Sethi, has launched a scathing critique of the Asia Cup scheduling following the disappointing washout of the highly anticipated India-Pakistan match due to rain in Pallekele on Saturday.
Expressing his frustration, Sethi, who assumed the role of PCB chairman on an interim basis following Ramiz Raja's departure last year, expressed disappointment at the missed opportunity. He particularly took aim at the Asian Cricket Council (ACC), alleging that his proposal to stage the tournament in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) had been unjustly dismissed in favour of accommodating Sri Lanka as a co-host.
