"The Asia Cup will go ahead. The Pakistan team returns from England on 2nd September so we can have the tournament in September or October," the PCB CEO said at a media conference here.
Khan quashed all rumors and speculation that the event could be scrapped to make space for the currently suspended Indian Premier League.
"There are some things which will only get clear in the due course of time. We are hopeful of having the Asia Cup because Sri Lanka has not had too many cases of the Coronavirus. If they can't do it, then UAE is also ready," he added.
Khan said Pakistan, the original host of the event, had agreed to let Sri Lanka conduct it in return for hosting the next regional event.
He also confirmed that the Pakistan board is working on options to play cricket in the window for the T20 World Cup if it doesn't go ahead as planned in October-November.
"We are to go to New Zealand in December after hosting Zimbabwe at home. South Africa are ready to tour in January-February to play two or three Tests and some T20 matches," he disclosed.
