The island nation of Sri Lanka has been forced to withdraw from hosting the 2022 Asia Cup due to its ongoing political and economic problems.

The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) has been notified by Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) of its inability to host the event.

According to Sri Lankan media, the SLC informed the ACC of its choice, stating that the country’s current political and economic climate leaves it “not in a position” to host the Asia Cup cricket competition.

In response to the current turmoil, the SLC recently decided to postpone the third season of the Lanka Premier League (LPL).

This year, the Asia Cup will take place in August and September to coincide with the T20 World Cup in Australia.

The choice of hosting the tournament in the United Arab Emirates has not yet been made. However, the location might be an Asian nation, including India.

According to reports, Sri Lanka would speak with the UAE Cricket Board and ask for help in finding a location for the event.
