ACC set to move Asia Cup out of Pakistan after members reject PCB’s hybrid model; Sri Lanka may host tournament

In a huge setback to Pakistan, the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) on May 8 decided to move the Asia Cup out of the country after PCB’s proposal to host the tournament on a ‘hybrid model’ was rejected by the member nations.

Sri Lanka has emerged as a front-runner to host the six-nation tournament as extremely humid conditions in the UAE in the month of September could lead to injuries to players.

It will be interesting to see if Pakistan, after this snub, competes in the tournament, scheduled to be held from September 2-17.
