The event was earlier scheduled to take place in Sri Lanka, but following the poor financial and economic condition in the island nation, it has been shifted to the UAE. It must be remembered that despite shifting the venue, Sri Lanka are the host of the Asia Cup 2022.
The opening encounter will be played between the hosts Sri Lanka and Afghanistan on August 27th at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, whereas the second encounter will be much-hyped, including the arch-rivals India and Pakistan.
This time, the Asia Cup will be played in T20 format. Six teams, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and one from UAE, Kuwait, Hong Kong, or Singapore, upon qualifying, will feature in the ACC contest.
