Sharad Pawar Asia Quotations

I have spoken to the cricket board presidents of the other Test nations from Asia (Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh) and have reached an understanding.

The Asia Cup will be played in September 2007.

The Asia Cup, which was to be held next month in Pakistan was postponed and it has now been decided that it will be staged in Pakistan in September 2007.

The Asia Cup has been postponed till 2007 september.

We have discussed this matter jointly and we feel that given the massive following for the game in South Asia it is apt we bid jointly for the World Cup.

The four Test nations from Asia have reached an understanding and a written bid will be made in the next few days.
