The 2023-24 Asia Cup cricket calendar was released by Asian Cricket Council (ACC) president Jay Shah on Thursday. In an update posted to his official Twitter handle, Shah revealed the pathway for the associate nations to make it into the competition.
Shah, who is also the BCCI secretary, confirmed that the Asia Cup 2023 would be held in September with India and Pakistan being drawn into the same group. The tournament will be played in the same format as used in the last two editions, with a total of 13 matches including the Super 4 stage and final.
The exciting tournament is scheduled to take place in September but in the 50-over format, keeping the ODI World Cup in the October-November window in mind. Notably, the Asia Cup is known for its adaptation as it was reduced to a T20 format in 2016 and 2022 when the World Cups of the shortest format took place.
