The devasting economic crisis may not allow Sri Lanka to host the Asia Cup 2022 and it is likely that the competition will be moved from the country.
Asia Cup 2022, in a T20 format, was announced to be held in Sri Lanka between August 27 and September 11. The dates and the host were announced after an AGM was held between the member countries last month.
All five Test teams including Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh were set to feature in the tournament, with one more team to join them after a qualifying tournament which was scheduled to be held from August 20.
However, the decision to change the venue will be made at the quarterly meeting of the International Cricket Council (ICC) scheduled to take place in Dubai on Sunday.
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Ramiz Raja and Chief Executive Faisal Hasnain will attend the meeting.
It must be noted that Sri Lanka is also scheduled to host Australia and Pakistan from mid-June to August 2022.
