Unlike the 2023 Asian Cup, this year’s tournament will take place in T20 format. This change is prepared for the 2026 T20 World Cup determined in February and March. The Asian Cup will provide all teams the chance to prepare for this important ICC event.
ACC first organized the Asian Cup in 2016 in T20 format. The T20 Asian Cup made a return in 2022. India received the title in 2016, and Sri Lanka appeared as a champion six years later.
Rohit Sharma, who led India to victory in the 2023 Asian Cup, will not participate in the upcoming tournament, even if it is not fully retired from the international cricket. Rohit moved India to a championship win in the 2024 World Cup and walked away from the T20i jack.
Virat Kohli will also miss the tournament because he retires from the shortest format. In addition, Ravindra Jadeja also released T20is in 2024. While both Virat and Rohit ODI remains active, Jadeja plays both ODIs and test jacks.
