Asia Cup to be held in neutral venue Dubai: Ganguly
Another Asia Cup will be held in Dubai to ensure that arch-rivals India and Pakistan can both take part, Indian cricket chief Sourav Ganguly said.

The tournament had been scheduled for Pakistan in September but India had refused to participate unless it had been held on neutral territory as a result of tensions between your two countries.

"The Asia Cup will be held in Dubai and both India and Pakistan will play," Ganguly said late Friday before leaving for an Asian Cricket Council meeting in Dubai.

India and Pakistan have not played a bilateral series since 2012-13 when Pakistan crossed the border for a series of one-day internationals.

With their decades-old dispute over Kashmir at a fresh peak, India has stopped all sports teams likely to Pakistan plus they have only clashed in cricket at major international events.
