Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) CEO Wasim Khan, on Saturday (January 25), quashed all rumors that Pakistan has given up its hosting rights of the upcoming T20 Asia Cup 2020 to Bangladesh in return for persuading them to tour for home series.

There were reports that the BCB agreed to send its team to Pakistan for a T20I series, one-off ODI and two ICC World Test Championship matches in three phases in turn of the hosting rights of the Asia Cup in September but Mr. Wasim has denied all the reports.

The PCB CEO has made it clear that Pakistan will be hosting the upcoming Asia Cup while threatening BCCI that if India doesn’t turn up for the September event, then, they would also refuse to visit the country for the 2021 ICC T20 World Cup, which is to be hosted by India.

Wasim was quoted as saying by The Dawn, “It is not the prerogative of the PCB or the ICC to change the host as it was the decision of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC).”

He signed off by saying, “We are currently considering two venues to host the Asia Cup. If India doesn't come to Pakistan for the Asia Cup, we would also refuse participation in the 2021 T20 World Cup there.”
