The Asian Cricket Council has decided to extend the term of its President Jay Shah by one year until 2024. It has also been decided that the Asia Cup, 2022 will be held in Sri Lanka between August 27 and September 11.
The tournament will be played in the T20 format with the qualifiers set to begin on August 20. Sri Lanka was originally supposed to host the tournament in 2020 before it was postponed twice due to the pandemic. They retained their rights to host the 2022 edition, with Pakistan in line to host the 2023 edition of the tournament.
The decision was taken in the Annual General Meeting of the ACC at Colombo on Saturday (March 19) alongside the decision to extend the tenure of Shah and its Executive Board and committees until the next AGM in 2024. Shah had taken over the reins from Bangladesh’s Nazmul Hassan in January 2021.
It was also decided in the AGM that the Qatar Cricket Association has been upgraded from an Associate to a Full Member of the ACC.
