Xtra Time Web Desk: The Asia Cup 2023 final may undergo a venue change due to adverse weather forecasts in the capital city, Colombo. Reports suggest that the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) is considering relocating the final, originally scheduled for September 17, to Kandy, which has a more favorable climate. However, this decision presents a significant logistical challenge for the ACC, as shifting such a high-profile match on short notice is not a simple task.
The move to Kandy is being considered primarily to avoid the potential disruptions caused by adverse weather conditions in Colombo. Weather-related disruptions can lead to delays or even cancellations of cricket matches, impacting the tournament’s integrity and schedule.
As of now, there has been no official confirmation from the Asian Cricket Council regarding the change of venue for the final. The ACC is likely evaluating various factors, including logistics, player and spectator safety, and the overall feasibility of relocating the match. Any decision to shift the final will need to be communicated promptly to ensure that teams, fans, and stakeholders are adequately prepared for the change in venue.
In the coming days, cricket enthusiasts and stakeholders will be eagerly awaiting official updates from the ACC regarding the fate of the Asia Cup 2023 final and whether it will indeed take place in Kandy instead of Colombo.
