The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) has shifted the 50-over Asia Cup from India to United Arab Emirates as the Indian cricket board (BCCI) could not procure permission from the central government to host Pakistan. The tournament will now be held on September 13-28 in Dubai and Abu Dhabi after ACC’s all member nations agreed to change the venue.  BCCI CEO Rahul Johri apprised the ACC board that the Indian team had got the clearance from the government to play Pakistan at a neutral venue. He said that chances of hosting Pakistan were next to nil in current scenario.
