The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) has announced the rescheduling of the ACC Women’s Emerging Teams Asia Cup, previously set to commence on June 6 in Sri Lanka.
The decision to postpone the tournament comes after consultations were held on a letter received from Sri Lanka Cricket president Shammi Silva, who wrote to ACC president Mohsin Naqvi, seeking postponement of the event citing adverse weather conditions in Sri Lanka and health concerns owing to the spread of chikungunya disease in the region.
“The ACC is committed to providing opportunities for young women cricketers to develop their skills and compete at the highest level,” said Naqvi. “We understand the strategic significance of this tournament in shaping the future of women’s cricket in Asia, and we will work diligently to reschedule the event at the earliest possible date.”
The ACC will announce the new dates for the tournament in due course.
“We appreciate the understanding of all participating teams, players, commercial partners, and stakeholders,” the ACC declared.
