PCB chairman candidate Zaka Ashraf strongly opposes the hybrid model.
Ashraf is confident that Pakistan does not gain anything from the hybrid model. “I already opposes of the hybrid model for the Asia Cup and rejected it.
To Pakistan, it is unfair. It is not the best strategy to hold the championship games outside of Pakistan. He told the reporters in Islamabad, “As hosts, the full event should take place at home.
Ashraf emphasized that once he takes over the PCB, he will thoroughly examine all pertinent data regarding the Asia Cup and make the best choice for the nation as soon as feasible.

“I lack access to the information necessary to know the decision made by the prior management, so I am uninformed of it. I’ll acquire the information I need, and I’ll work to quickly reach the best choice for the nation,” he continued.
After India rejected to visit Pakistan for the Asia Cup, the management committee of the PCB, under the direction of Najam Sethi, recommended the hybrid format. The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) ultimately authorized the hybrid model in spite of various obstacles.
According to this accepted plan, the tournament will begin with four matches in Pakistan and continue to Sri Lanka for nine additional matches, including the championship game.
