New Delhi: In a major blow to Pakistan, the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) has decided to move the Asia Cup out of the country. In this way, the hybrid model of the Pakistan Cricket Board has been blown up by other Asian teams. In the month of September, there will be severe humidity in the UAE, in such a situation, considering the possibility of injury to the players, Sri Lanka is now the strongest contender to host the Asia Cup. Now it will be interesting to see whether after this neglect, Pakistan will participate in the tournament to be held from September 2 to 17 this year or not.
Pakistan with hope
The PCB was forced to propose an alternative after the BCCI refused to send the Indian team to the neighboring country due to diplomatic tensions between the two countries. The PCB, however, has not given up hope yet. The matter is likely to be discussed again on Tuesday and the PCB is hopeful that the members may change their mind.
What was the hybrid model of Pakistan?
The PCB had proposed a ‘hybrid model’, in which India would play its matches in the UAE while Pakistan would host its matches on home soil. An ACC source said, “Najam Sethi (PCB chairman) was in Dubai today to seek support on the matter, but no one supported his proposal. He had given the option of Karachi or Lahore in Pakistan for all matches except India’s matches. Sri Lanka was always with BCCI and now Bangladesh Cricket Board also opposed this proposal of Sethi.
Why is Sri Lanka the first option?
India and Pakistan are in the same group and the third team will have to travel between Dubai and a city in Pakistan. Pakistan’s recent decision to move Pakistan Super League matches to the UAE in view of the rising cost of security arrangements in the country has added fuel to the fire against hosting the Asia Cup. Broadcasters would also not want to send separate teams to two countries. Unlike the UAE, Sri Lanka does not require an aircraft to travel between two cities. Whether you play in Colombo or Galle or Kandy, these cities are close to each other.
