New Delhi, July 29, 2024.
India will host the next edition of the men’s Asia Cup cricket tournament in T20 format in 2025 as a pre-cursor to the T20 World Cup scheduled in the country in 2026, the Asian Cricket Council stated in its Invitation for Expression of Interest (IEOI).
The Asia Cup is always used as a dress rehearsal for the global event and played in the format in which the World Cup will be held.
The 2023 edition, hosted by Pakistan Cricket Board, was held in ‘Hybrid Model’ as India refused to travel to the neighbouring country and played its matches in Sri Lanka.
