Asia CUP 2022 LIVE: Where is SriLanka Squad Asia Cup? With just a week left for Asia Cup 2022, Sri Lanka Cricket officials finally reached UAE. The delay was caused by Sri Lankan government’s refusal to approve the officials’ travel. The SL govt is unhappy with the SLC for not “doing enough” to retain the tournament in the island nation. But on Friday, the officials finally met the UAE Minister of Tolerance and handed over the Asia Cup 2022 Trophy. However, the Sri Lankan sports ministry is yet to approve the squad.

As per a Sunday Times Sri Lanka report, an opposition MP questioned the decision to shift Asia Cup 2022 out of Sri Lanka. Sports Minister Roshan Ranasinghe and Chairman of the National Sports Council Arjuna Ranatunga backed the position. They said SLC did not “lobby enough” to keep the tournament in the island nation. SLC Secretary Mohan de Silva later slammed the questions and said it was a wild allegation, aimed at maligning SLC’s image.
“These are wild allegations to bring discredit to the institution with ulterior motives. It is very unfortunate to see responsible people who represent the masses of our country talking without verifying facts and misleading the general public,” SLC Secretary Mohan de Silva was quoted by Sunday Times.
