KARACHI: Pakistan will host the second edition of the women's
Asia Cup amid growing female interest in cricket, South Asia's
most popular sport, a top official said on Thursday.

The first edition of the Asia Cup was hosted by Sri Lanka in
2003, and the event was won by India.

Pakistan's arch-rivals India along with Sri Lanka would play
on a double league basis, but Bangladesh would not take part as
it was still in the development phase of women's cricket, the
organizer said. -- AFP
