India Selected As Host Of Asia Cup 2025 In T20 Format!

India hosted the major cricket event in 2023 after a long time in the 50-over World Cup. Next year India will host another major event next year as India is selected as the host for the Asia Cup. While India will host the 2025 T20 over, Bangladesh is selected as the host for the 2027 edition for 50-over format.

The Asian Cricket Council which deals with hosting the tournament between the Asian cricket teams broke the news. While inviting bids for the sponsorships for the event, ACC called for Expressions of Interest (IEOI). During the same ACC said India will host the event.

Though India is selected as the host of the Asia Cup there is no information on the venues where the matches will be played. After the 1990s India will be hosting the event. We can expect house full attendance in the stadiums during the event.

India is the defending champion of the Asia Cup. In 2023 India lifted the trophy adding its eighth title. Compared to the T20 format India is dominant in the 50-over format as we won seven titles.

India dominated the 2023 edition with just a single defeat. Rohit Sharma led Indian team recorded a comfortable win against arch-rivals Pakistan in the league. In the finals, India recorded a 10-wicket win against host Sri Lanka. As India refused to visit Pakistan, a hybrid model was selected.

The Asia Cup also marks the first major event after the retirement of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Ravindra Jadeja. Let us see how the team fares in the absence of the big names.
