The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) has confirmed the venues for the next four editions of the Men’s Asia Cup, with India set to host the tournament in 2025.
The 2025 edition, which will be played in the T20 format, marks the tournament’s return to the Indian subcontinent after 35 years and its first time in India since the late 1990s. Bangladesh will host the 2027 edition in the ODI format.
Following those two editions, Pakistan will host the 2029 tournament in the T20 format, and Sri Lanka will welcome Asia’s best for the 2031 edition in the ODI format. Each of these editions is expected to feature 13 matches, with India vs. Pakistan being a key clash.
The ACC has set a base price of $170 million for the media rights of these four Asia Cup editions, covering an eight-year period from 2024 to 2031. The auction for global television, digital, and audio rights for the men’s and women’s senior, U-19, and Emerging team tournaments will take place on November 1, following the submission of technical bids on October 30 in Dubai.
