He said besides Pakistan, other teams which were to participate in the tournament included Oman, Qatar, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Kazakhstan and Afghanistan.
"However Oman, Qatar and Sri Lanka excused and showed unwillingness to participate in the event due to financial reasons therefore we have to reschedule the tournament," he said.
