UAE Chosen as Host Venue
The Asia Cup, set to unfold over two weeks in September, will be held in the UAE, a decision finalized during the recent ACC meeting. The tournament’s schedule is being crafted to conclude before India’s Test series against West Indies begins in late September. An ACC insider, speaking anonymously, revealed that Dubai is slated to host India’s matches, including a potential high-stakes encounter with Pakistan.
The choice of the UAE as the venue reflects logistical considerations and the BCCI’s influence in shaping the event’s framework. Only two of the ten agenda items were addressed, underscoring the BCCI’s sway in prioritizing key decisions.
Anticipation Builds for India-Pakistan Showdown
The prospect of an India-Pakistan match is generating buzz, though ACC chairman and Pakistan Cricket Board chief Mohsin Naqvi remained tight-lipped about specifics. He emphasized unity among the 25 member nations, noting that discussions with the BCCI are ongoing to resolve minor issues. BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia echoed this sentiment, urging patience for an official announcement while dismissing speculation.
The virtual presence of Rajeev Shukla at the ACC meeting highlights India’s active role in steering the tournament’s planning. As preparations advance, the cricketing world awaits confirmation of the schedule, particularly for the marquee India-Pakistan clash, which is expected to draw massive attention. The UAE’s selection as the host ensures a neutral venue, setting the stage for a thrilling T20 spectacle in September.
