KARACHI: Pakistan cricket authorities have actually opposed the moving of this year’s Asia Cup to Sri Lanka and are seriously mulling boycotting the local competition if their proposition is declined by the
Asian Cricket Council
Pakistan Cricket Board chief
Najam Sethi
met authorities of the Asian Cricket Council in Dubai on Tuesday and challenged the transfer to move the Asia Cup to Sri Lanka rather of having it in the UAE.
“Sethi has actually worried the
ACC
must accept Pakistan’s modified hybrid design proposition schedule for the Asia Cup and if at all most of members want to have it in other places it need to be kept in UAE like in 2018 and 2022.
“Sethi rubbished the issues of the BCCI communicated to the ACC that it would be too hot to play in UAE in September by explaining today that the BCCI had actually held its IPL in UAE in September to November in 2020,” one trustworthy source in the
PCB
stated.
“I can inform you this much Sethi has actually taken a brand-new hybrid design schedule to the ACC and it is a proposition they should not turn down now,” he revealed.
The source stated the PCB was shocked to discover that the Sri Lankan board with back entrance assistance from BCCI had actually informed the ACC it wishes to host the Asia Cup this year.
“It came as a surprise due to the fact that earlier at the last ACC board conference in February, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan had actually declined the Lankan proposition and it was concurred Pakistan would stay the host.”
Prior to leaving for Dubai, Sethi had actually informed his authorities to begin dealing with having a 3 to 4 country occasion in Pakistan this year in the Asia Cup window if the continental occasion is not kept in the nation.
