BCCI: India’s Asia Cup participation still under discussion
19 May 25
The upcoming Asia Cup 2021 has been postponed to 2023 due to Covid-19. The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) said that there is already an Asia Cup scheduled to take place in 2022. As a result, the 2021 edition of the tournament is postponed to 2023.
In an ACC statement “The ACC Executive Board, in face of the risks and restrictions posed by the Covid-19 pandemic, had made the difficult decision to postpone the Asia Cup 2020 to 2021. Since then, the ACC has been working with its participants and stakeholders to try and ensure that the event is held in the year,
“However, on account of a packed FTP, it has been concluded that there is no practical window in the year when all the teams would be available to participate. The Board has accordingly considered the matter very carefully and determined that the only way ahead would be to postpone the event,
It would therefore only be feasible for this edition of the tournament to be held in 2023 as there is already an Asia Cup in 2022. Dates for the same will be confirmed in due course.”
Pakistan is likely to host the 2022 edition of the tournament, with Sri Lanka hosting in 2023.
