Background
In December 2018, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) were granted the rights to host the tournament by the Asian Cricket Council (ACC).[4] However, it was unclear if the matches will be played in Pakistan or the United Arab Emirates.[5] After the announcement was made, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) requested that the PCB change the event's venue due to ongoing security concerns.[6] Pakistan last held a multi-team international tournament in 2008, with the 2008 Asia Cup.[7] Since then, only a handful of international matches have taken place in Pakistan following the 2009 attack on the Sri Lanka national cricket team.[7]
In May 2019, the ACC confirmed that Pakistan will host the tournament.[8][9] The decision to host the tournament in Pakistan raised doubts over India's participation, with the ongoing political tension between the two countries.[10] In October 2019, the decision to host the tournament in Pakistan was still to be agreed by the ACC, due to doubts raised over India's participation. The ACC will wait until June 2020 for the BCCI's response.[11] On 16 January 2020, the tournament was moved from Pakistan, after India refused to tour the country due to security concerns.[12] The tournament's host is scheduled to be announced in February 2020.[13]
