Asia Cup hosting was decided after the Pakistan test series!
Considering the current crisis political situation in Sri Lanka, it is reported that the Asian Cricket Council has a plan to move the hosting of the Asia Cup cricket tournament to be held in Sri Lanka in 2022 to another country. However, it is reported that the final decision will be taken on the success of the Pakistan tournament.
Sri Lanka is a country where cricket has become very popular. The number of cricket spectators in Sri Lanka is huge, but due to the current crisis situation, there is a decrease in the capacity of the spectators and the questionable situation regarding the safety of other players participating in the tournament has been raised.
However, the completed tour of the Australian cricket team to Sri Lanka was held without any hindrance. With these events, the Pakistani cricket authorities have agreed to hold the test matches of the Pakistan cricket team’s tour to Sri Lanka as before. The first match of the Test series will begin on the 16th in Galle. The Sri Lankan team, which won the last test match with great success, enters the match with the mentality of victory and it is reported that the pitch will decide whether the all-rounder Kamindu Mendis, who was successful in the last Australian match, will be included in Pakistan’s first test match. That is because Dhananjaya Silva has recovered from the Covid condition and has returned to the team. Also, spinners Lasith Amudeniya and Praveen Jayawickramaha have been rested in this tournament.
However, a high number of spectators is required for these two matches. Sri Lanka can get a lot of economic strength through the Asia Cup tournament. Accordingly, this Pakistan Test tournament can be crticile decision maker to hold the Asia Cup tournament. The audience should be supportive.

Fresh details reveal dual agreements, silent acceptance, and a looming registration problem ahead of the Champions League
Colombo – June 17, 2025:
The player registration controversy surrounding Mohamed Sahi has intensified, as newly uncovered information confirms the existence of two separate agreements signed by the player — one with New Star SC and another with Crystal Palace FC Gampola, both for the 2025/26 season.
The Timeline of Conflict
- On January 15, 2025, Mohamed Sahi received a release from his former club Eravur YSS, stating that he would be joining Crystal Palace FC.
- This release letter was shared via WhatsApp with Crystal Palace, but the original document was handed over to New Star SC, who then registered the player for the 2025/26 season based on a contract signed on January 16 for LKR 85,000.
- Later in February, Sahi went on to sign another contract — this time with Crystal Palace FC, reportedly for LKR 215,000, including two advance payments: LKR 35,000 and LKR 45,000 to his father’s account.
This sequence raises serious concerns about whether the player fully understood his obligations or whether both clubs failed to clarify the status of the original registration.
Crystal Palace Questions: Silence from New Star
Despite publicly announcing the signing of Mohamed Sahi on social media in February, New Star SC remained silent. No objections were raised until the issue surfaced during I League scrutiny.
This inaction has sparked public questions:
- Why didn’t New Star respond immediately if the player was already under contract with them?
- Was there an oversight, or did they expect the issue to resolve quietly?
I League vs Champions League Impact
While the situation has had no direct impact on the I League, given that New Star SC registered the player first and the I League is an invitational tournament not governed by the FFSL, Sahi only featured under New Star during the competition. However, the matter gains greater significance in the lead-up to the Sri Lanka Champions League, where both New Star SC and Crystal Palace FC are reported to have submitted player registrations for Mohamed Sahi, potentially triggering a registration conflict.
This raises the risk of:
- Duplicate entries under the same player ID
- Last-minute disqualifications or disputes
- Administrative confusion for tournament organizers
A Potential Settlement?
In an attempt to ease tensions, sources close to New Star SC have confirmed that Mohamed Sahi is willing to return the advance payment made by Crystal Palace FC to resolve the financial element of the issue amicably.
Final Word
While this incident is unlikely to influence the I League outcome, it exposes a flaw in inter-club communication and registration coordination. With the Champions League approaching, resolving these overlaps is essential to avoid technical complications or eligibility issues.
