The BCCI has received support from the cricket boards of Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Afghanistan to move this year’s Asia Cup out of Pakistan, following which a formal announcement of the Emerald Isles as host of the tournament is expected by month-end.
The only question that remains now is what stance the Pakistan Cricket Board takes on participating in the Asia Cup, as too the ICC World Cup, which India is hosting immediately afterwards.
With the PCB unlikely to get any worthwhile support from the International Cricket Council on the issue, the cash-strapped Pakistan board’s only practical recourse looks to be a demand for financial compensation from the ACC for breach of contract on the part of BCCI or some such.
