Men’s Cricket Asia Cup: India to host 2025 and Bangladesh 2027 edition Sport 6 min read

The Asian Cricket Council has announced the host of the forthcoming biennial Men’s Cricket Asia Cup to be held in 2025 and 2027. 

India will host the 2025 edition in T20 format, and Bangladesh will host the 2027 edition in One-Day International (ODI) format.

The format of the Asia Cup follows the format of the forthcoming World Cup and is scheduled accordingly.

The last 2023 Asia Cup hosted by Pakistan was held in a hybrid model as India refused to play in Pakistan. Indian matches were held in Sri Lanka and the final involving India was also held in Sri Lanka. India won the final, defeating Sri Lanka by 10 wickets to lift its 8th Asia Cup title.

2025 Asia Cup in T20 and 2027 in ODI Format 

  • India will host the 2025 Asia Cup in T-20 format, as the 10th ICC Men’s T-20 World Cup is scheduled to be held in India and Sri Lanka in 2026. India is the current world champion in the T-20 format.
  • The 2027 Asia Cup will be held in ODI format in Bangladesh as the 14th ICC Men’s ODI World Cup will be held in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia in 2027.

Teams participating in the 2025 & 2027 Asia Cup

According to the Asian Cricket Council, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and one non-test playing member of the Asian Cricket Council will compete in the tournament. The non-test playing member will be selected through a qualification tournament to be organised by the Asian Cricket Council.

Men’s Cricket Asia Cup
