Schedule of Asia Cup finalized

The schedule for the Asia Cup has been finalised, said Arun Dhumal, a member of the Board of Cricket Control in India (BCCI) and the current chairman of the Indian Premier League (IPL).

Asia Cup will be played from August 31 to September 17, a major event, before the ICC Men’s World Cup, later this year.

Dhumal in an interview said India will not travel to Pakistan to play the high-voltage game between the two arch-rivals. The match between India and Pakistan will likely be played in Dambulla, Sri Lanka.

Fans are anticipating a tough contest between Pakistan and India this year as both teams will meet at least twice in men’s cricket in the calendar.
