Women's Asia Cup Final: The women's Asia Cup has made a comeback after a brief hiatus. The Sylhet International Cricket Stadium in Bangladesh will host the 2022 Women's Asia Cup, which will take place from October 1 to October 16. This time around, there will be 7 teams participating in the T20 event.
The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) hasn't officially confirmed the tournament's specifics, but Shafiul Alam Chowdhury Nadel, the chairperson of the BCB's women's committee, confirmed them to ESPNcricinfo. The details are included below.
Which teams will compete in the Women's Asia Cup in 2022?
India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Malaysia, the United Arab Emirates, and the host country Bangladesh are among the countries that will compete in the 2018 edition. The 27th and 28th of September are the scheduled arrival dates for all teams in Bangladesh.
The Sylhet International Cricket Stadium is the greatest option for the BCB due to its close proximity to the airport and the hotel where the seven teams are anticipated to stay, according to Shafiul Alam Chowdhury, the director of the board and chairwoman of the women's committee.
We want to hold the women's Asia Cup matches on Ground 1 of the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium, and training will take place on Ground 2.
"As a host country, Bangladesh has already hosted a number ofseveral significant men's and women's continental and international competitions. In particular, Sylhet, which hosted games during the 2014 men's and women's T20 World Cups, will host this year's Women's Asia Cup of the Asian Cricket Council for the first time."
The 2024 Women's T20 World Cup will be held in Bangladesh, which was recently named the host nation by the International Cricket Council (ICC). Shafiul Alam Chowdhury said, "We are making all the necessary arrangements to welcome spectators, including school students, for all the matches of the Women's Asia Cup because we want to generate significant interest around women's international cricket and the Bangladesh women's team leading up to the 2024 T20 World Cup.
Given that we are collaborating with the ACC and ICC to ensure the success of the 2024 T20 World Cup and the Asia Cup, respectively, we intend to promote both events effectively.
As things stand, Sylhet may even host the semifinal and championship matches of the 2024 T20 World Cup, therefore we are eager to put on a strong performance for the Women's Asia Cup. There is already quite a bit going on in Sylhet as far as women's cricket, especially in the T20 format. The ongoing 12th edition of the Women's National Cricket League is also being played in Sylhet.
Bangladesh has not hosted any women's international matches since Pakistan last visited in October 2018. The 2022 Asia Cup will also mark Sylhet's first hosting of any international women's matches since the 2014 T20 World Cup
