The rest of the teams will arrive in Sri Lanka for the matches against India in this tournament which will be held in a hybrid format. Also, if the Indian team enters the final, the final match will also be held in Lanka. The remaining matches will be played in Pakistan.
The Pakistan Cricket Board has the right to host the Asia Cup this time, but the BCCI has made it clear that the tournament will not be played in Pakistan. Thus, PCB has decided to organize the tournament in a hybrid model.
Accordingly, it is certain that Asia Cup 2023 will be held in Pakistan and Sri Lanka. The dates for the tournament are set from 1st to 17th September and the schedule is likely to be announced soon.
This time also India-Pakistan teams are in the same group. So expect a clash of traditional rivals in Sri Lanka.
Similarly, the Nepalese team has also entered the same group. This means that this is the first time that the Nepalese team is getting a chance to play against two of the strongest countries in Asia. Accordingly, the following are the 6 teams that will play in the Asia Cup this time.
Pakistan (Group-A)
India (Group-A)
Nepal (Group-A)
Sri Lanka (Group-B)
Bangladesh (Group-B)
Afghanistan (Group-B)
