Asia Cup 2020 Cancelled? - Pak Cricket Board 'Slams' BCCI President Ganguly! - Details

Sourav Ganguly, the President of BCCI in a live session on Instagram said that the Asia Cup 2020, scheduled for September has been cancelled. However, no official confirmation has been released by the Asian Cricket Council (ACC).

While speaking of India’s possible first International series this year, Ganguly said, “It’s difficult to say which will be India’s first international series. We’ve done our preparations but we can’t do much till we know the government rules. We are not in a hurry because the health of players is of the utmost importance. We are monitoring things monthly.”

The media director of the Pakistan Cricket Board, Samiul Hasan, on Thursday said that the announcement that Ganguly made holds no weight as the official board has not made a decision yet.

“In December, we have the first full series. Asia Cup 2020 has been called-off which was scheduled to take place in September,” Ganguly said. Countering this Hasan said, “The statements made by Sourav Ganguly have no impact on proceedings. Even if he passes comments every week, they do not hold weight or merit.”

He further added, “The decision regarding Asia Cup will be taken by the ACC. The announcement can only be made by the president of the Asian body Nazmul Hazan. TO the best of our knowledge, the schedule of the next ACC meeting is yet to be announced.”
