“The SLC is prepared to host the Asia Cup at short notice. The decision now is up to the ACC. Colombo or nothing. We will go with the BCCI,” an SLC official was quoted as saying.
SLC’s new proposal is a huge blow for Pakistan, who was prepared to host the tournament in a hybrid model. Reports further claimed that all the ACC members barring Najam Sethi were present at Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday. The BCCI reportedly denied the latest hybrid model and said, it’s either Colombo or nothing.
The Asia Cup 2023 is likely to take place from 1st September to 17th September.
What is PCB’s Hybrid Model?
In the proposed Hybrid-model, PCB suggested keeping India’s matches in UAE while holding a few matches in Pakistan, however, the Indian board didn’t accept it.
