The Asia Cup, which was scheduled to be held in Sri Lanka, has been shifted to the UAE, BCCI president Sourav Ganguly said on Thursday.
"Asia Cup will be in the UAE, as it is the only place where there won't be rains," Ganguly told reporters after the Board's Apex Council meeting here.
Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) on Wednesday had informed the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) that the board will not be in a position to host the upcoming edition of the Asia Cup T20 because of the economic and political crisis in the country.
The ACC extended the courtesy to SLC by delaying the decision for as long as they could regarding the announcement of the venue.
However, Sri Lanka's political landscape has not seen much improvement thus the decision to move the event to the UAE has been taken.
