PCB agreed on terms to give Asia Cup 2020 Hosting Rights to Sri Lanka

PCB have agreed to our hosting this edition: SLC chief Shammi Silva

The Pakistan Cricket Board has agreed on terms to allow Sri Lanka to host Asia Cup 2020, according to various media reports. The Asia Cup 2020 was originally designated to be hosted by the PCB in the United Arab Emirates in September. A final decision is still to be taken on the Asian showpiece event, as it awaits a call on the 2020 T20 World Cup.

The upcoming decision on T20 World Cup could be taken today as the global governing council board members are set to meet. The T20 World Cup in Australia is slated to get underway in October, but due to the lockdown situation enforced to withstand the Covid-19 pandemic, it might be postponed to next year. To arrange the logistics beforehand will be a major task for the global governing council due to the crisis situation.

The Sri Lanka Cricket chief Shammi Silva has stated that the PCB has agreed to hand over the hosting rights to their board, considering the pandemic situation. He also said the ACC board meeting held on Tuesday, chaired by Bangladesh Cricket Board president Nazmul Hasan, gave the green light to the marquee Asian tournament.

“We had a discussion with Pakistan Cricket Board, and they have already agreed to our hosting this edition due to the present world situation,” SLC chief Shammi Silva was quoted as stating by Sri Lankan media outlet Ceylon Today.

“We had an online ACC meeting, and they basically gave us the green light to host the tournament,” he revealed.

The ACC has emphasized hosting the tournament but deferred its decision, probably hinting at the commencement of the T20 World Cup 2020.

“…the Board emphasized the importance of holding the Asia Cup 2020. In light of the impact and consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, possible venue options for the Asia Cup 2020 were discussed, and it was decided to take the final decision in due course,” an ACC press release specified after the meeting on Monday.
