The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is set to host the upcoming Asia Cup T20 tournament in the United Arab Emirates, with a formal announcement expected in the coming days, according to sources within the Asian Cricket Council (ACC).

The decision followed an ACC meeting attended by representatives from all 25 member nations to finalise the tournament’s venue. BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla participated in the meeting virtually.

"The BCCI will host the Asia Cup in the UAE. India is likely to play all its matches in Dubai. There are still deliberations on scheduling," an ACC source told PTI on conditions of anonymity.
