LAHORE: The Pakistan Cricket Board announced on Sunday that the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) Asia Cup has been postponed to 2022.
“PCB Chairman Ehsan Mani briefed the BoG on matters relating to the International Cricket Council as well as this year’s ICC T20 World Cup and the ACC Asia Cup, which has now been postponed to 2022,” a statement from the PCB said.
The announcement confirms comments made by Mani last month to local media that the Asia Cup, which was scheduled to be held in June, would not take place this year.
The 2020 edition of the Asia Cup was postponed due to COVID-19 pandemic and the ACC at the time had said it was looking at a window in June to host the tournament.
Following PCB’s offer to swap hosting rights with Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC), the tournament was scheduled to be played in Sri Lanka, with four subcontinent sides, along with Afghanistan and an Asian qualifier.
