ACC Writes to BCCI, Urges Early Schedule Announcement
According to a report by The Times of India, the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) has written to the BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India), urging them to make the tournament schedule public soon. The letter states that the delay in announcing the schedule is causing inconvenience to sponsors and media partners. The ACC desires a final decision on the schedule in the first week of July to avoid any confusion.
Given the political tensions between India and Pakistan in recent months, there were concerns about the tournament. However, the signs now indicate that the Asia Cup is set to be held, and fans can expect the thrill of the India-Pakistan match.
17 Days of Thrill in UAE, Likely Clash of 6 Teams
Reports suggest that this Asia Cup will last 17 days and will be hosted in the UAE. Teams from India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, and Nepal are expected to participate. The final of the tournament could be played on September 21st. Furthermore, Sony Sports has also provided hints about the tournament. A promo for the Asia Cup was aired during the recent India-England test match, indicating that preparations for the tournament are nearly complete.
While news of the tournament's organization is exciting, questions remain regarding Pakistan's participation. It is still unclear whether Pakistan will play in the Asia Cup. Last year, India refused to play in Pakistan due to security concerns, leading to the tournament being held in a hybrid model. The situation is similar this time around, but it is hoped that Pakistan will participate in the matches held in the UAE.
