New Delhi. Hybrid model of Pakistan Cricket Board has been rejected by 3 cricket boards. The BCCI was already talking about holding the ODI Asia Cup at a neutral venue, but the PCB was not ready for it. Now Bangladesh, Afghanistan and Sri Lanka cricket boards have rejected the hybrid model of PCB. PCB chairman Najam Sethi has repeatedly said that if the tournament is held at a neutral venue instead of Pakistan, he will not participate in the tournament. Now news is coming that this year’s Asia Cup can be cancelled. During this, BCCI can organize a multi-nation tournament at home.
The PCB is adamant on holding the Asia Cup only at neutral venues. A source from the Asian Cricket Council told news agency PTI that there is a possibility that the Asia Cup could be completely canceled this year. India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Afghanistan can play a multi-national tournament in the 50-over format before the World Cup. In case of no Asia Cup, India is preparing to organize a tournament of 4 or 5 countries at home at the same time. It is also being seen as a preparation for the World Cup to be held in October-November.
Large amount will not be given to the broadcaster
The source said that even if Pakistan does not play, it will still be called the Asia Cup, but the broadcaster will renegotiate the deal in Pakistan’s absence. Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan and India have all taken the stand that hosting the Asia Cup in Pakistan as well as any other country is not logistically or financially feasible. It should be organized in a country Sri Lanka, as India cannot travel to Pakistan.
The source said that there is every possibility that the Asia Cup will not be held this year as without matches between Pakistan and India, the broadcasters are unlikely to offer the same amount that they would have offered to the ACC if Pakistan was present. were staying Recent developments may force Pakistan not to send its team to India for the World Cup. PCB has already given such threats.
