Asia Cup: Afghanistan and Nepal are also ready to play in Pakistan, The hybrid model proposed by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has crossed another hurdle for approval, paving the way for the PCB in the Asia Cup, with Afghanistan and Nepal also agreeing to play in Pakistan.
After Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, and Nepal have also agreed to play in Pakistan, both assured the PCB through email to play in Pakistan.
PCB’s hybrid model does not include India playing in Pakistan at all, so India’s objection to the hybrid model is of no importance.
All the other cricket boards involved in the hybrid model have assured to support Pakistan, after the hybrid model is approved, neutral venues can be discussed.
Other boards are still reluctant to play in the UAE and have expressed fears of player injuries due to the heat in the UAE in September.
PCB wants to hold Asia Cup in UAE due to high ticket sales and gate money, PCB will present its position by building on Asia Cup and IPL held in September in the past.
