Sri Lanka<\/strong> is likely to host the upcoming Asia Cup <\/a><\/strong>with the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) <\/a><\/strong>set to move the tournament from Pakistan. The decision to shift the event from the original host country was always on the cards from the moment BCCI secretary Jay Shah said that the Indian team would not travel across the border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A final decision on the venue for the tournament is expected by the end of this month with Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Afghanistan backing the move to host the event in the island nation. Pakistan\u2019s participation in the tournament is unclear as of now with reports indicating that it might boycott the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, that proposal has received no takers with the tournament broadcaster also expressing concerns over it. Moreover, with September being peak summer in the United Arab Emirates, the other boards had reservations about playing in the Gulf region, a month before the 50-over World Cup. During a recent informal meeting of the ACC members, it is understood that even Oman offered to host the tournament, but keeping the conditions in mind, Sri Lanka has been considered an ideal destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
