Karachi: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) CEO Wasim Khan has said that the PCB will raise objections to any changes in the schedule of the Asia Cup to conduct the Indian Premier League (IPL). Wasim Khan said that he expected the Asia Cup T20 tournament to be held in the UAE in September only if the global pandemic corona virus is under control.

He said, "Our stand is very clear. The Asia Cup is going to be held in September and it can be changed only due to health related issues. It will not be acceptable to us if its program is changed for IPL. "He said," I have heard that discussions are going on to hold the Asia Cup in November-December, which is not possible for us. If you make changes in the Asia Cup, then it is an attempt to make way for a member country which is not right and we will not support it.

Khan further said that the Zimbabwe team will be on a tour of Pakistan at that time and then Pakistan has to go on a New Zealand tour. The IPL has been postponed indefinitely due to Corona epidemic, but there is speculation that it may be organized at the end of the year if the situation improves. Khan said that the BCCI representative did not raise the issue of IPL window in the meeting held on Thursday on the conference call of ICC chief executives.
