There is every possibility that Sri Lanka will host the Asia Cup 2023 which has been in limbo for some time now. Pakistan is hosting the Asia Cup but the BCCI has refused to allow the players to go to Pakistan citing security concerns. Then Pakistan presented a hybrid model to the Asian Cricket Council which was rejected by BCCI Secretary and ACC President Jay Shah. The BCCI has invited the presidents of Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Afghanistan to watch the IPL final in Ahmedabad and there will be a meeting between the presidents of all these boards in which the final decision on the Asia Cup will be taken. It is believed that Bangladesh and Sri Lanka are supporting the BCCI.

Afghanistan is also in favor of the board and if there is a vote to host the Asia Cup, Afghanistan’s vote will be crucial. The Afghan board cannot afford to spoil its relations with the BCCI in view of the upcoming series against India. As cricketers from these three countries are playing in IPL, they cannot go against the board. Apart from this, due to the players of Afghanistan playing in IPL, how much amount is given to their board by BCCI. The Asian Cricket Council is also keen to play the Asia Cup in Sri Lanka whether Pakistan comes to play or not. A vote by the five nations at the ACC meeting scheduled on Sunday will decide the hosting of the Asia Cup.
