Adverse weather conditions and health concerns surrounding the spread of chikungunya disease have forced the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) to postpone the second edition of the Women’s Emerging Asia Cup, scheduled to start on June 6 in Sri Lanka. Former PCB chief and current ACC president Mohsin Naqvi confirmed the development on Monday (June 2).
“The ACC is committed to providing opportunities for young women cricketers to develop their skills and compete at the highest level. We understand the strategic significance of this tournament in shaping the future of women's cricket in Asia, and we will work diligently to reschedule the event at the earliest possible date,” Naqvi wrote on X.
Naqvi said that the ACC decided against staging the tournament per schedule after SLC president Shammi Silva wrote to them, seeking to work on a separate window to host this event owing to weather and health concerns in the country.
The latest reports suggest that Sri Lanka's meteorological department issued an advisory last week, warning everyone of strong winds and thunderstorms across several provinces in the country.
The ACC also confirmed that they will announce the new dates in due course.
