ACC could accept PCB’s ‘hybrid model’ for Asia Cup, Pakistan team set to travel to India for WC

New Delhi, Jun 11 (PTI) The Asian Cricket Council, headed by BCCI secretary Jay Shah, is expected to approve PCB’s proposed ‘hybrid model’ for conducting four non-India Asia Cup games in Pakistan while the rest of the matches will be played in Sri Lanka’s Galle and Pallekele.

The ACC is likely to make a formal announcement on Tuesday and once the hybrid model is officially accepted, decks will be cleared for Pakistan team’s travel to India for the ODI World Cup scheduled in October-November.

“The two India vs Pakistan games and all other Super Four Games will be held in either Pallekele or Galle,” an ACC board member told
