Asia Cup 2022 Venue
In 2018, it was decided that Pakistan would host 2020 Asia Cup. India made it a condition that Pakistan not participate due to tensions between India, Pakistan. ACC remained firm in its decision to allow Pakistan to host the cup. India did not respond positively to the council’s decision. In 2008, the Asia Cup was hosted by Pakistan. After the attack on the Sri Lankan Team’s lands in 2009, Council decided to make it a possible venue. Later, Pakistan offered a change in Venue and agreed to set a neutral venue. The Asia Cup Committee voted to allow Sri Lanka to host the 2020 Asia Cup.
