PCB suggests another proposal for Asia Cup: sources.

In another attempt to stop the Asia Cup from being moved out of Pakistan, the country's cricket board floated a new proposal to organise the event in two phases, said the sources.

According to the proposal, all the teams except India will play one match in Pakistan in the first phase. In the second phase, all the teams including India will complete their remaining matches in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

The new model suggests that the final match will also take place in the Gulf country.

Earlier, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) suggested a 'hybrid model' to the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) for the Asian event with India's matches scheduled offshore.

However, that model was reportedly rejected by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

The members of the ACC will present the new plan to Indian cricket board secretary Jay Shah before making the final decision.

Meanwhile, PCB Management Committee Chairman Najam Sethi has left for England after discussing the new proposal with ACC members in Dubai.

It must be noted that in October last year Pakistani cricket authorities hinted they may pull out of next year's World Cup in India, a day after officials there said they would not send a team to the 2023...
