The ACC has confirmed the dates and venues of the next edition of the Asia Cup. The six-team tournament, scheduled to begin on August 31, will have 13 matches overall, of which Pakistan will host four matches for the first time since 2008 while Sri Lanka will take care of the other nine fixtures.

As per The Telegraph, the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) is expected to exclude Pakistan in the upcoming Asia Cup. The report suggested Jay Shah, the ACC chairman, has told the other participating nations that there will be a single venue, instead of PCB’s proposal of a hybrid model.

The 2020 edition of the Asia Cup is in jeopardy as the crucial Asian Cricket Council (ACC) meeting has been postponed due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. With India adamant on its refusal to travel to Pakistan for any matches, the tournament is reportedly set to be held in UAE again.
