The tournament is still to be hosted by Pakistan.
"No change is allowed about Asia Cup"
Wasim said, "Our stand is very clear. The Asia Cup will be held in September. At that time, it can be changed only if there is a serious health issue. If there is any change in the schedule of the Asia Cup for the IPL, it will not be acceptable to us. I have heard that there is talk of shifting the Asia Cup from November to December, but this is not possible for us. It is not right for any one member country to change the Asia Cup. We will not support it. ''
