The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has proposed a “hybrid model” to the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) for the Asia Cup, which will be held in Pakistan in September and feature matches involving India that will be played elsewhere.
According to local media reports, in addition to recommending a hybrid format, the PCB restated its earlier position that Pakistan would not withdraw from the competition if the ACC rejected its proposal and any decision was made to move the tournament.
The PCB insisted on hosting the Asia Cup in September or it will withdraw from the competition, as per local media reports, during a series of discussions held over the previous several days in the United Arab Emirates.
Reports claim that during the formal and informal conversations held amongst the ACC member countries to resolve the impasse, PCB’s possibilities were explored.
Finally, it was proposed that the ACC members take Najam Sethi’s “hybrid model” seriously to resolve the lingering problem that has already put the survival of the continent cricket family in jeopardy.
