Asia Cup: Sri Lanka expresses interest to host the Asia Cup 2023

AHMEDABAD: Amid the uncertainty over the venue, Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) has expressed interest to host the Asia Cup 2023 and said it is prepared to host the championship if Asian Cricket Council (ACC) decide to allot the tournament to the island nation.

The development comes just days ahead of the ACC meeting, which will decide the fate of the six-nation tournament. "The SLC is prepared to host the Asia Cup at short notice. The decision now is up to the ACC," a top SLC official said on Monday.

According to a Cricbuzz report, BCCI is firm on its stance and continues to oppose the hybrid model proposed by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) wherein the matches are hosted in Pakistan and UAE. (IANS)
