Not Clear about Organizing Asia Cup 2020: PCB Chief Ehsan Mani

Due to the COVID-19 epidemic, there is no event of any kind of sports happening anywhere in the world. Now, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Ahsan Mani has said that in view of this situation there is uncertainty about the Asia Cup 2020. The Asia Cup is scheduled to be held in September this year and the T20 World Cup will be held in Australia in October. Pakistan has to host the Asia Cup this time, which is to be played in this format in view of the T20 World Cup. PCB chairman Ehsan Mani said that there is doubt as to whether the Asia Cup will be held and no decision has been taken so far. There is a state of uncertainty all over the world at this time. No one knows what will happen in September, but don't get me wrong, it will depend on many reasons. Nothing can be said based on mere speculation, perhaps the situation will clear up in a month.

Several international tours and tournaments have been postponed due to the Corona epidemic and the situation is not clear for the Indian Premier League 2020, one of cricket's biggest tournaments, which was to start on March 29. A few days ago, BCCI President Sourav Ganguly said that India and Pakistan will participate in the Asia Cup. At the same time, he also said that the Asia Cup will be held in Dubai, after which it was said from Pakistan that no such decision has been taken. Although it was also said by the BCCI that if Pakistan hosts this tournament, then they have no objection to it, but it should be held on a neutral venue.

On the other hand, the organizers of the T20 World Cup told that they are looking forward to organizing it. The T20 World Cup 2020 will be held from October 18 to November 15. T20 World Cup Organizing Committee Chief Executive Nick Hockley said that we are waiting and want to give full opportunity to what we have planned. We do not want to take any decision in a hurry.
