MANAMA: Asian Cricket Council's (ACC) emergency meeting on Saturday in Baharin called by Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief Najam Sethi will decide the fate of Pakistan hosting the 2023 Asia Cup. According to a source to ANI, "PCB newly elected chief Najam Sethi wants an urgent meeting with ACC chief and members and he expressed this wish in front of ACC members during ILT 20 opening ceremony in Dubai. Now the meeting will be in Bahrain and the main agenda of the meeting is to decide the fate of the 2023 Asia cup, whether it will be held in Pakistan or not. Most likely it will be held in another country rather than Pakistan."
ACC president and BCCI secretary Jay Shah earlier stated that the 2023 Asia Cup will not be hosted in Pakistan and will be played at a neutral venue.
Last year the Asia cup was held in UAE and the probability of the nation hosting it again is high.
Qatar has also shown interest in staging the tournament as a neutral venue amidst political tensions between the neighbouring countries. It has already hosted a few cricket tournaments and franchise-based cricket leagues.
