Asia Cup 2021 postponed to 2023 due to packed schedule

The 2021 edition of the Asia Cup will now be held in 2023 due to a lack of window in a rejigged cricket calendar owing to the coronavirus pandemic.

The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) on Sunday officially postponed the 2021 edition of the Asia Cup to 2023, the dates of which will be confirmed by the committee later. This year's continental tournament was moved from Pakistan to Sri Lanka but rising cases in the island nation had led to its cancellation. With all the big four Asian sides having packed schedules until the end of the year, finding a window for the tournament this year would have been extremely difficult. The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) issued a statement in this regard.
