Asia Cup schedule in Pak and Sri Lanka announced, according to Press.
This year’s competition, which will use a 50-over format, is slated to take place from August 31 to September 17. The exact Asia Cup 2023 schedule is anticipated to be made public on Friday of this week.
The Asian Cricket Council has chosen a hybrid format for the competition, with the first four games taking place in Pakistan and the final games in Sri Lanka.
In Sri Lanka’s Dambulla, the eagerly awaited match between India and Pakistan will take place.
The lone home game for Pakistan will likely be at Lahore versus Nepal. Afghanistan will play Bangladesh, Sri Lanka will play Bangladesh, and Afghanistan will play Sri Lanka in the remaining three matches in Pakistan.
The Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) chairman and Jay Shah, the BCCI secretary and president of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC), met to finalize the schedule. Zaka Ashraf is the head of the PCB Management Committee.
This gathering took place on Tuesday in Durban, South Africa, during the chief executives’ committee (CEC) meeting of the International Cricket Council’s (ICC) annual session.
The Asia Cup schedule was finalized as previously planned, according to Arun Dhumal, the current chairman of the Indian Premier League.
“Our secretary met PCB head, Zaka Ashraf,” Dhumal said. According to PTI, the competition would begin with four league stage games in Pakistan and end with nine games in Sri Lanka, which will feature India against Pakistan encounter and, if necessary, a third game if both sides advance to the final.
There will be a total of 13 one-day international matches between the participating teams, which are India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, and Nepal.
There are two groups made up of these teams. Pakistan, India, and Nepal make up Group A, while Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka make up Group B.
