Karachi(Agencies):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.
Khan rejected speculation that
the event could be scrapped to make space for the currently suspended Indian
Premier League.
"The Asia Cup will go
ahead. The Pakistan team returns from England on 2nd September so we can have
the tournament in September or October," he said at a media conference here.
"There are some things
which will only get clear in the due course of time. We are hopeful of having
the Asia Cup because Sri Lanka has not had too many cases of the Coronavirus.
If they can't do it, then UAE is also ready," he added.
Khan said Pakistan, the
original host of the event, had agreed to let Sri Lanka conduct it in return
for hosting the next regional event.
