The recent developments in Sri Lanka have resulted in the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) seriously mulling over shifting its continental tournament out of the island nation.
According to reports, discussions to host the Asia Cup 2022 have been held between ACC and the Emirates Cricket Board (ECB) with the event likely to be held in UAE now.
As of now, Sri Lanka is scheduled to host the event from August 26 to September 11.
With Sri Lanka successfully hosting Australia for a full tour, it seemed all but certain that the Asia Cup will remain in the country. However, in the past few days, the political situation there has changed dramatically with their President reportedly leaving and being replaced by a new one.
Meanwhile, it has been reported that the official schedule of the tournament will be unveiled next Friday, July 22. India and Pakistan will likely face each other twice in the league phase.
