Sri Lanka were awarded the hosting rights of the 15th edition of the Asia Cup in September next year by the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) yesterday.

The tournament, which is usually a 50-over affair, will be played as a T20 contest as in 2016 when Bangladesh hosted it.

The tournament was to be held in September 2020 but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been postponed on several occasions due to travel restrictions, country-specific quarantine requirements, fundamental health risks, social distancing mandates and above all the risks related to health and safety of participating players, support staff, commercial partners, fans and the cricketing community.

The tournament was to be hosted in 2020 by Pakistan who exchanged hosting rights with Sri Lanka with Pakistan due to host the Asia Cup in 2022. (ST)
