Former Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Najam Sethi has slammed the Asia Cup scheduling after the India-Pakistan match washout at Pallekele, saying his suggestion to play in the UAE was turned down and "poor excuses" were made to accommodate Sri Lanka.
Sethi, who took over on an interim basis after Ramiz Raja was sacked as PCB chairman last year, expressed his frustration after the much-anticipated game between India and Pakistan was abandoned due to rain on Saturday.
Taking a dig at the Asian Cricket Council (ACC), Sethi wrote on X, "How disappointing! Rain mars the greatest contest in cricket. But this was forecast. As PCB Chair, I urged the ACC to play in UAE but poor excuses were made to accommodate Sri Lanka.
