Pakistan to host Asia Cup T20 in 2020

[thunderkaka]

Pakistan will host the Asia Cup T20 in 2020, the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) decided in its meeting held in Singapore.

Pakistan was represented by Pakistan Cricket Board (PC) Chairman Ehsan Mani and Managing Director Wasim Khan. A decision on which city in Pakistan will host the tournament is yet to be taken.

A PCB spokesman said the name of the city to host the tournament would be announced soon and preparations will begin.

The ACC meeting was also attended by representatives from India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Afghanistan.

Pakistan will host the tournament in September 2020, one month prior to the T20 World Cup in Australia.

Pakistan hosted the 50-over Asia Cup in 2008.

The PCB spokesman said cricket will be included in the 2022 Asian Games which will be held in China after it was left out in 2018.

I think either India comes or they stay away. There should be no concessions.

no seriously bro Sports and politics should never be mixed together, India has great influence on ICC but i wouldn't say that its controlled by BCCI.

Add afghanistan in that list too.

 

[Pan-Islamic-Pakistan]

I hope puppet gov of Kabul falls before then, so we can have the Afghan team in Pakistan.

It will be a great rediscovery and renewed fellowship like old times.

Don’t care much for India, and I hope BD becomes more sensible.

Forget India, if other countries can participate, then you guys should go ahead schedule the Asia Cup.India should go to Pakistan and play the series...

 

[American Pakistani]

Lol, except India controls the ICC and the Asian Cricket Council.

Hahaha, how happy you seem to bring politics in sport. Only India can do that.

 

[WAJsal]

Lol, except India controls the ICC and the Asian Cricket Council.

Indian board did try to have their match against Pakistan cancelled or something, right? Whatever happened to poor guy, Srinivasan and his ambitions to rule ICC? Well at least he kept politics and sports separate.
Let be realistic here, India has more influence and rightly so too but it doesn't control ICC and it never can as long as England and Australia are there.
