The location fiasco for the Asia Cup has been discussed since last year

Following last year’s Asia Cup in UAE, BCCI Secretary Jay Shah said that this year’s tournament will be held at a “neutral venue,” citing security concerns for Indians in Pakistan.

Already having the hosting rights, then PCB-Chairman Ramiz Raja threatened to pull out of the tournament if it didn’t take place in their country. All Asian Cricket Council (ACC) members met for a meeting in Bahrain in mid-March, where they failed to meet a resolution. Although all members did agree that Asia Cup being held outside Pakistan is the most favorable option.

As it currently stands, the tournament will most probably be taking place in two venues, one of them being Pakistan.
