After a tussle for months between the Indian and Pakistan cricket boards, the official schedule of the Asia Cup was finally released on Wednesday. Pakistan retained the hosting rights but will stage only four of the 13 matches in this biennial competition. Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Nepal are the other teams in the field for this ODI competition.

PCB pushed for the tournament to be played at least in a hybrid model, salvaging four matches from being moved out of the country. Whether this is a win of any sort for PCB is being questioned in Pakistan cricket circles. From the time BCCI made it clear last October that it would not play in Pakistan, PCB has seen three regime changes, each advocating a slightly different bargain from the other.

India-Pakistan friction has dominated the Asia Cup history. Of the 15 editions held since it began in 1984, the tournament has been played in India and Pakistan only once each. The only time the Asia Cup was held in Pakistan was in 2008. It was also the last time the Indian cricket team played there.

The five top-seeded teams - India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Afghanistan - will directly start their campaigns from the quarter-finals while the remaining nine will start from the group stage, where they have been divided into three groups of three teams each. The three group winners will join the big five in the top eight stage. The Indian cricket team is playing in the Asian Games for the first time.

The 2023 Asia Cup (also known as Super 11 Asia Cup for sponsorship reasons)[1] was the 16th edition of the men's Asia Cup cricket tournament. The matches were played as One Day Internationals (ODIs) with Pakistan as the official host and Sri-Lanka as the co-host for select matches involving India.[2][3][4][5] It was held in Pakistan and Sri Lanka, between 30 August to 17 September 2023.[6][7] The tournament was contested by 6 teams.[8] Sri Lanka were the defending champions.[9] It was the first Asia Cup to be held in multiple countries, with four matches being played in Pakistan and the remaining nine matches being played in Sri Lanka.[10][11][3]

The five full members of the Asian Cricket Council were part of the tournament: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. They were joined by Nepal, who qualified by winning the 2023 ACC Men's Premier Cup. For the first time, the tournament was held in a "hybrid format" with the games organised in two countries. All teams played at least a few games in Pakistan, except for India, who refused to travel to Pakistan due to disapproval from the Indian government.[12][13][14] In January 2023, the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) announced the pathway structure and calendar for 2023 and 2024,[15][16] where they confirmed the dates and format of the tournament.[17] Originally, the tournament was scheduled to take place in 2021, but was postponed to 2023 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The fixtures for the tournament were announced on 19 July 2023.[18] India defeated Sri Lanka by 10 wickets in the final to win their eighth Asia Cup title.

In June 2020, following a meeting with the Asian Cricket Council (ACC), the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said they would be willing to let Sri Lanka host the 2020 Asia Cup,[19] with India unwilling to travel to Pakistan.[20] The ACC issued a press release following the meeting stating that "in light of the impact and consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, possible venue options for the Asia Cup 2020 were discussed and it was decided to take the final decision in due course".[21] In July 2020, an official announcement of the postponement was made by the ACC.[22] The 2020 edition was rescheduled to take place in Sri Lanka in June 2021.[23]

In March 2021, the tournament was at risk of a further postponement after India qualified for the final of the World Test Championship, which clashed with the proposed dates in June.[24] The tournament was postponed once again to 2023.[25] In May 2021, the ACC announced that the 2021 tournament would be deferred to 2023, citing that it would be difficult to schedule the tournament due to the continued impact of COVID-19 on the scheduling of other cricket events.[26][27] Pakistan was scheduled to host the 2022 Asia Cup after retaining the rights to host the 2022 edition.[28] However, in October 2021, following a meeting with the ACC, Ramiz Raja confirmed that Pakistan would host the tournament in 2023, with Sri Lanka hosting the 2022 edition.[29]

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had threatened to boycott the 2023 Cricket World Cup if the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) refused to send a team to the 2023 Asia Cup scheduled in Pakistan.[33][34] In March 2023, it was proposed that Pakistan remain as hosts and that all India matches - including at least two India-Pakistan contests - would be played at a neutral venue yet to be confirmed.[35] The hybrid model proposed by Pakistan was rejected by Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.[36] In response, PCB Chairman Najam Sethi proposed two options. The first option was that India play all their matches at a neutral venue with Pakistan hosting the rest of the teams. The second option was that four matches in the group stage take place in Pakistan whereas the second phase, in which matches played by the Indian team followed by the next stage matches including the final, be played at a neutral venue. Sri Lanka and Bangladesh agreed to the second option.[37]

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has expressed its dissatisfaction over BCCI secretary and president of the Asian Cricket Council, Jay Shah announcing the schedule of the upcoming Asia Cup 2023 before its own official ceremony in Lahore earlier this week.

"The PCB had a clear understanding with the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) (that) it would release the schedule of the Asia Cup, five minutes after the ceremony started in Lahore. But unfortunately, half-an-hour before the ceremony started around 7.15 p.m., Jay Shah had announced it on social media," one reliable source in the board told PTI.

The simmering tension between India and Pakistan cricket boards was palpable after PCB chief Najam Sethi took a sarcastic jibe at BCCI secretary Jay Shah for "unilaterally announcing" the Asian Cricket Council's two year calendar. On Thursday, Shah, in his capacity as ACC chairman announced the 2023 and 2024 itinerary on his twitter handle with the marquee Asia Cup slotted in September this year, though the detailed itinerary and the host country have not been announced yet.window._rrCode = window._rrCode || [];_rrCode.push(function(){ (function(v,d,o,ai){ai=d.createElement("script");ai.defer=true;ai.async=true;ai.src=v.location.protocol+o;d.head.appendChild(ai);})(window, document, "//a.vdo.ai/core/v-ndtv/vdo.ai.js"); });Pakistan is the original host of the Asia Cup this year but the BCCI is not keen on playing there owing to political tension between the two countries.The then Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Ramiz Raja had opposed the BCCI's stand and even threatened to boycott the 50-over World Cup in India.Raja's contention was that the decision to award Pakistan the hosting rights was taken by ACC's Board of Directors and Shah can't decide about shifting the tournament.Sethi, who was perceived to be close to previous Indian board bigwigs, however was sharp in his response after Shah released the calendar in the morning.Advertisementvar VUUKLE_CONFIG = {apiKey: 'e6741053-104a-43d2-8bd8-b2536529f5cd',articleId: '1',comments: {enabled: false},emotes: {"enabled": false},powerbar: {"enabled": false},ads:{noDefaults: true}};(function() {var d = document,s = d.createElement('script');s.async = true;s.src = ' ';(d.head || d.body).appendChild(s);})();"Thank you Jay Shah for unilaterally presenting ACC structure & calendars 2023-24 especially relating to Asia Cup 2023 for which Pakistan is the event host.
