COLOMBO: The 2021 Asia Cup, which was shifted from Pakistan to Sri Lanka, was on Wednesday called off due to rising COVID-19 cases in the island nation.
The Asia Cup, which was last held in 2018, was scheduled to be held in June but Sri Lanka Cricket CEO Ashley de Silva announced that it will be difficult for them to conduct the tournament.
“Due to the prevailing situation, it will not be possible to play the tournament in June this year,” PTI quotes De Silva as having told local reporters.
