The Pakistan Cricket Board Chief Executive Officer Wasim Khan believes that there is some uncertainty regarding the T20 World Cup to be hosted in India as the covid-19 situation in the country hasn’t really improved much.
"There is still some uncertainty over the World T20 being held in India…yes because of the Covid situation there. It could be in UAE," Khan was quoted as saying to a Pakistani Youtube channel Cricketbaaz.
Khan, 49, also informed about Pakistan’s plans on getting visas for India ahead of the T20 World Cup. He said, "Mani Sahab (PCB chief Ehsan Mani) has written to them (authorities) and requested them that given the state of relations between India and Pakistan, it would be best if the ICC and BCCI gives a written assurance about the visas being issued to us.”
A former county cricketer, Khan also revealed that the next T20 Asia Cup would be hosted by Sri Lanka while Pakistan would host the 2022 edition of the continental tournament.
"The next Asia Cup will be hosted in Sri Lanka in June and we have got hosting rights now for the 2022 Asia Cup," he said.
Given Indo-Pak relations, it’s hard for both the teams to discuss cricket and Khan too acknowledged the fact, but not without hoping for improved relations soon.
"But yes bilateral relations are not ideal and that is why we have also asked for the assurances for next year''s World Cup," he said.
