#1 Asia Cup 2020 to be hosted by PCB

The Asian Cricket Council has announced that the 2020 Asia Cup will be hosted by the Pakistan Cricket Board. The games will be played in the T20 format, but it is still unclear whether the venue will be Pakistan or UAE.

It has to be noted that Pakistan has been shunned from hosting international games ever since the attack on the Sri Lankan team bus in 2009. Since then, they have sparingly played any international games there, with UAE serving as their adopted home ground.

Owing to the 2020 T20 World Cup, which follows the Asia Cup within a month's gap, the games will be in the T20 format, just like the 2016 edition.
