The Malaysian Cricket Association has decided to put the Pro10 Malaysia cricket tournament on hold, citing logistical hurdles that need to be addressed. The competition will now take place after the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup, which is scheduled to be hosted jointly by India and Sri Lanka. First announced in November last year, the tournament generated considerable interest, especially after former India all-rounder and renowned commentator Ravi Shastri lent his support to the project, while Sir Vivian Richards was named its brand ambassador.
