While the Asia Cup was scheduled in the UAE in September, talks of making changes in its dates are doing the rounds. Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Ehsan Mani has asserted that they will not agree to cancelling the Asia Cup to accommodate the IPL. “I have read and heard about these speculations but right now just remember that having or not having the Asia Cup is not a decision between Pakistan and India it involves other countries as well,” asserted Mani on Tuesday. "...it is important to have the Asia Cup if cricket activities resume by then because the development of Asian cricket depends on funding from the tournament. Mani confirmed that Pakistan was to receive around USD 7 to 8 million in June and January.
