The fifteenth edition of the Asia Cup is scheduled to start on August 27 and finish on September 11. Before the main event, a qualifying event will also take place where four teams will fight it out for one available spot.
A total of six teams will take part in Asia Cup 2022 – hosts Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh and the winner of the qualifying event.
