With Covid-19 pandemic raging wild, a lot of sports events across the face of the planet are postponed or even cancelled. A few managed to slip from the grip; still, they are strictly conforming with the rules and regulations which has been currently laid down to contain the impact of the menacing virus. And guess what? The fun in the game dies because of these pathetic rules!
Cricket started yesterday, and without the crowd, it feels as if the battle in the 22-yards has undergone a paradigm shift. Probably domestic crickets will be able to relate to this experience where the ground seems hollow, and also the world seems grim.
Amidst the pandemonium of this life-threatening virus, Asia Cup 2020, which was supposed to be convened by Pakistan, has been called off by BCCI, and the same was later corroborated by ACC. Though there were quandaries about the fact that where exactly will the fray be held, either in Dubai or Pakistan, Twitter did not really settle well with the fact that this tournament was cancelled.
Asia Cup 2020 was originally scheduled to be held in September is now cancelled confirms BCCI President Sourav Ganguly.

Just In : To avoid another tournament loss humiliation under his captaincy, Kohli had earlier urged BCCI to cancel Asia Cup 2020, which BCCI agreed to & is now cancelled. Reports suggest BCCI are looking to host Bilateral series during that time in Sri Lanka or UAE. (File Pic) pic.twitter.com/aFBlHZaZqy

Ganguly announced postponement of Asia Cup 2020. PCB Chairman reacted rightly, attributing protocols not being followed & the decision should have come from the ACC & PCB being the host. Inside a few hours, Mani Sb confirmed postponement. Strange ways shall continue haunting us.
