CHITTAGONG, May 21: India is all set to host Asia Cup in 2010, a year before it co-hosts 2011 World Cup, a top Asian Cricket Council (ACC) official said here. “We go by a system of rotation. So after Pakistan hosts Asia Cup in 2008, it will be India's turn and then Bangladesh's (in 2012),” ACC chief executive officer Syed Ashraful Huq said.

He said 2008 Asia Cup, which was postponed several times, would definitely take place in Pakistan in April-May. “Asia Cup in Pakistan starts April 23 and ends May 4.”

He said tournament had to be postponed earlier as there was no permanent slot for it. “We had gaps in Asia Cup because Future Tour Programme of International Cricket Council did not have this tournament slotted in a particular time.”—Agencies
