Indian cricket board secretary Jay Shah has flown to Bahrain the place an emergent assembly of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) has been referred to as at PCB chairman Najam Sethi’s behest to resolve the destiny of Pakistan’s Asia Cup internet hosting rights.
If sources within the BCCI are to be believed, there’s little to no probability of the Asia Cup being held in Pakistan in September.
If in any respect, the match will both be shifted to UAE with PCB retaining the internet hosting rights, or Sri Lanka could possibly be the opposite possibility.
“Jay is in Bahrain for the ACC meeting. The BCCI’s stand will not change. We will not be travelling to Pakistan as we haven’t got any go-ahead from the government,” a BCCI supply acknowledged.
It can be understood that latest bomb blasts in Peshawar have once more raised safety considerations about holding cricket tournaments in Pakistan.
In December final 12 months, ACC chairman Shah launched the itinerary of the continental physique and the venue of the Asia Cup wasn’t talked about.
This led to Sethi accusing Shah of taking a “unilateral decision”, an allegation that ACC formally refuted stating that repeated emails to PCB searching for suggestions on the itinerary went unanswered.
In October final 12 months, Shah, who can be the supremo of ACC, formally instructed the media that India is not going to journey to Pakistan.
The erstwhile PCB chief Ramiz Raja had again then threatened that Pakistan is not going to journey to India for this 12 months’s 50-over World Cup.
