Asia Cup 2023 to be held in hybrid mode

The Asia Cup is scheduled to take place in Pakistan in 2023, but India’s unwillingness to visit the nation casts doubt on the hosting of the tournament. Najam Sethi, the head of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), later offered a “hybrid model” in which four matches would be played in Pakistan and the other matches in Sri Lanka.

Meanwhile, Sri Lanka also proposed hosting the entire tournament in the island nation.
Finally, on Thursday, the ACC accepted the hybrid model, with four matches being held in Pakistan, and the remaining nine matches being played in Sri Lanka.
