The 2022 edition of the Asia Cup will take place in Sri Lanka, while Pakistan will host the event in 2023.

The next edition will be in 20-over format, bearing in mind the T20 World Cup in 2022. Whereas, the 2023 Asia Cup will be based on 50-over format due to the ODI World Cup in the same year.

The switch in formats will allow Asian teams to prepare for the mega event adequately.

The decisions were taken by an Asian Cricket Council (ACC) Executive Board meeting, chaired by secretary of BCCI Jay Shah, which was held in Dubai on Thursday. PCB Chairman Ramiz Raja was also one of the attendees.
