Afghanistan express desire to host Asian events
LAHORE: The Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) has shown interest in hosting future Asian Cricket Council (ACC) events.
The ACB made this request during an ACC meeting in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, led by Jay Shah.
The meeting covered several topics, including the possibility of adding cricket to the 2026 Asian Games, ACC tournaments, media rights from 2024 to 2031, and the addition of new member countries.
The schedule for the upcoming Bangladesh-Afghanistan series was also discussed, and Bangladesh has agreed to tour Afghanistan for a series in all formats.
The idea of including cricket in the 2026 Asian Games was debated, and membership applications from Uzbekistan, Mongolia, and the Philippines were reviewed.
Afghanistan benefited from having their issues addressed in the meeting, and the ACC encouraged member boards to work together more effectively.
Pakistan was represented by Chief Operating Officer Salman Naseer, as PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi could not attend due to other commitments.
