The ACC is yet to make any official confirmation about the cancellation but a source said that the unavailability of Afghanistan and the UAE has forced them to call off the tournament.
Afghanistan and UAE are currently undergoing the ICC High Performance Programme for the 2015 World Cup beginning from February in Australia and New Zealand. Both teams have also confirmed their unavailability for a tour of Sri Lanka in November where the island country had initially planned to host the two teams along with Nepal and Hong Kong.
