Asia Cup (T20 Edition) 2022
Asia Cup 2022 is the 15th edition of the tournament. This year, the match format will be T20, as Asia Cup matches will be played as Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is). According to reports, Sri Lanka will host the tournament just before the 2022 T20 World Cup. India, who beat Bangladesh in the 2018 tournament, will be the defending champions of the 2022 Asia Cup.
Asia Cup (ODI edition) 2023
Asia Cup 2023 is the 16th edition of the tournament. The 2023 Asia Cup tournament is an ODI edition, as Asia Cup matches are played as one-day internationals (ODIs). According to reports, Pakistan is scheduled to host the tournament just before the 2023 ODI World Cup. Full venues and schedule details will be announced later before the tournament.
Postponement of the 2021 tournament
The 2021 Asia Cup, originally scheduled to take place in June, has been cancelled and postponed to 2022, a decision taken by the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) mainly due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The government was confident of securing June 2021 as a suitable date for the Asia Cup.
The Board further added that the PCB has swapped the hosting rights of the tournament with the Sri Lanka Cricket Board and hence the SLC will now host the Asia Cup scheduled to be held in June 2022, while the PCB will host the 2023 Asia Cup.
Latest news and updates on the Asia Cup
Asia Cup update: The 2022 Asia Cup will be held in Sri Lanka, while Pakistan will host the event in 2023.
The next edition will be staged in a 20-over format in view of the T20 World Cup 2022, while the 2023 Asia Cup will be based on a 50-over format due to the ODI World Cup being held in the same year.
The format change will allow Asian teams to prepare properly for the mega-event.
The decisions were taken at a meeting of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) Executive Committee, chaired by BCCI secretary Jay Shah, held in Dubai on Thursday. PCB chairman Ramiz Raja was also one of the participants.
