The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) has agreed to Pakistan Cricket Board's (PCB) principle that important matters, including the finalization of the events calendar, should be put before the board members for approval.

Najam Sethi, PCB chairman, and Faisal Hasnain, Chief Executive, are set to attend the ACC Board meeting in Bahrain to discuss the yearly events calendar and finalize the dates for the Asia Cup, which Pakistan will host in September.A PCB official stated that the ACC has accepted Pakistan's stance and will put the calendar up for final approval in the board meeting.

“Sethi’s position on the calendar has been vindicated as ACC has agreed to put up all the important issues in front of the Board’s members. The ACC has accepted Pakistan’s stance and decided to put the calendar of events in the ACC Board meeting set to be held in Bahrain on tomorrow (Saturday), for the final approval” a PCB official said.

The Managing Committee's chairman had taken a firm stance by raising the issue with member countries and calling for an immediate meeting of the ACC Board.

“The efforts made by the PCB resulted in convening ACC meetings and hence putting up all the relevant issues confronting Asian cricket in front of Board members. We believe that only the Board is a relevant forum to consider and approve events calendar as well as finalising Asia Cup dates that Pakistan are to host in September,” the official said
