Asian Cricket Council informs Bangladesh Cricket Board to be on standby to host Asia Cup 2022

The Asian Cricket Council reportedly informed the Bangladesh Cricket to be ready to host the upcoming Asia Cup 2022 due he current economic and political crisis in Sri Lanka, which took a dramatic turn recently.

Sri Lanka Cricket earlier had said they are ready to host the tournament, scheduled to be played in August, but considering the current situation in Sri Lanka the ACC will took the final decision later this month.

Although, during all these happenings in the country, the Australian men’s team yesterday completed their one-month tour to Sri Lanka. While Indian women’s team also toured the neighbours recently for 3-match T20s and 3ODIs.

The situation in Sri Lanka is not satisfactory as recently the citizens of the nation marched into the President’s house and burned down the Prime Minister’s home, which forced both high commanding leaders to speak about the resignation from their post.

If these circumstances continues to be in the Island in the coming month too, then Bangladesh will likely to host the Asia Cup 2022.

Do Bangladesh have any prior experience in hosting big ICC tournaments?

Bangladesh has previously hosted the Asia Cup in 2016 and ICC T20 World Cup in 2014.

The upcoming Asia Cup is a 15th edition of the tournament, with India being the no.1 team with most number of wins (7), while Sri Lanka at 2 with five wins.

As of now 5 teams are confirmed to be part of the Asia Cup 2022. While four other teams () will battle it out to grab the one remaining spot to be the part of the 6-team Asia Cup 2022.

The anticipated tournament will take place from August 27 to September 11. While the high-voltage game between India and Pakistan will likely to be played on August 28.

The tournament will be played in a T20 format as a part of giving team’s a chance to prepare themselves for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup, which will be commenced in the month of October in 2022.
