The Asian Cup 2023 will feature six prominent cricketing nations from Asia. The tournament will be played in a round-robin format, where each team will face every other team once. The top four teams at the end of the group stages will qualify for the semi-finals, followed by the grand finale.

The tournament is set to commence on August 30, 2023, with the opening match between Pakistan and Nepal. One of the most anticipated matches, between arch-rivals India and Pakistan, is scheduled for September 2, 2023. India will then face Nepal on September 4, 2023.

India’s Selection Dilemma

While four teams have already declared their squads, all eyes are on Team India’s selection. Recent reports suggest that spinners Yuzvendra Chahal and Ravichandran Ashwin, who were previously sidelined for the Asia Cup, might make a comeback for the World Cup 2023. Their exclusion from the Asia Cup squad raised eyebrows, but their potential inclusion in the World Cup squad indicates the selectors’ strategy.
