So before the tournament gets underway, here are all the details you need to ensure that you don’t miss out on any action.
Asia Cup venue and host:
United Arabia Emirates (UAE) have been finally announced as the Asia Cup 2022 venue. Originally, Sri Lanka were picked as the venue for the competition. However, the venue had to be shifted due to the economic and political crisis in Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka Cricket, however, will serve as the hosts of the marquee tournament.
“Considering the prevailing situation in Sri Lanka, the ACC after extensive deliberation has unanimously concluded that it would be appropriate to relocate the tournament from Sri Lanka to UAE,” a release from the ACC read.
