India and Pakistan clash in T20 as Asian Cup dates are confirmed in August-September
For over one billion Indian and Pakistani cricket fans, there is some good news as the two cricket nations may meet again in August / September for the Asian Cup. The schedule has not yet been released but it has been confirmed that the match will take place from August 27 to September 11, the Cricket Council of Asia (ACC) announced on Saturday after its annual general meeting. Sri Lanka has been selected as the host country.
The five Test teams, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, will take part in the tournament, which will conclude with a qualifier against one Asian team starting August 20.
“The Asia Cup 2022 (T20 format) will be held in Sri Lanka later this year from 27 August to 11 September. The qualifying rounds will be played from 20 August 2022,” ACC tweeted after its AGM.
The tournament, which usually alternates between the ODI and T20I formats, was last played in 2018 and was won by India. The COVID-19 epidemic forced the postponement of the 2020 edition.
Sri Lanka should host the 2020 edition, but the epidemic first pushed the event to 2021 and finally shifted to 2022. Pakistan, which originally planned to host the 2022 Asian Cup, has now secured the hosting rights for 2023.
The United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Singapore and Hong Kong are the sixth team to compete. The UAE and Kuwait reached the qualifying round after finishing first and second in the ACC Western Regional Event in 2020, while Singapore and Hong Kong did the same from the Eastern Region.
