The ACC further added that the proposed hybrid model had been accepted and the multi-nation tournament will get underway with four matches being held in Pakistan.
After hosts PCB conduct the first four games in Pakistan, the tournament will then shift to Sri Lanka for the last nine matches. India will play their matches in Sri Lanka.
In a statement, ACC announced, “We are delighted to announce that the Asia Cup 2023 will be held from 31st to 17th September 2023 and will see the elite teams from India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, and Nepal, compete in a total of 13 exciting ODI matches.

For the upcoming edition, India have been grouped with arch-rivals Pakistan and Nepal in the league stage, while Bangladesh, defending champions Sri Lanka and Afghanistan make up the second group.

What is the Asia Cup venue dispute in 2023? The ASIA Cup 2023 is scheduled to take place in Pakistan, but team India will not go there. Therefore, the PCB (Pakistan Cricket Board) must either find a neutral location for the tournament or attempt to hold it without India, which appears implausible.
