KARACHI: The Asia Cup will go ahead as scheduled later this year in either Sri Lanka or the UAE, Pakistan Cricket Board CEO Wasim Khan has asserted.
“The Asia Cup will go ahead. It was due to be played in Pakistan this year, but we have asked Sri Lanka to host the tournament. The Pakistan team will return from England on September 2 so we can have the tournament in September or October,” PTI quotes Khan as having told sports anchor Sawera Pasha on her official YouTube channel.
“We are hopeful of having the Asia Cup because Sri Lanka has not had too many cases of the coronavirus. If they cannot do it, then UAE is also ready,” he added.
Khan also clarified that no one knows as to when IPL will take place so currently, PCB is looking at the September-October window for the Asia Cup.
“We do not know when the IPL will be taking place, once we get the clarity, we can work around that, as far we as concerned September-October window is still open for the Asia Cup,” Khan said.
