The announcement came after the successful completion of the recent Asia Cup and a meeting of the Asian Cricket Council held in Dubai.

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A 33-ball half-century from Bangladesh captain Litton Das handed Hong Kong its second straight loss in the Asia Cup on Thursday. Litton exhibited wide range of shots to score 59 as Bangladesh cruised to 144-3 for a seven-wicket victory in its opening Group B game.

Bangladesh had set their sights on winning the continental tournament this time. After losing to Sri Lanka in the group stage in Abu Dhabi, wicketkeeper–batter Jaker Ali said, “We came here to become champions.

Captain Litton Das has issued an apology to the fans on Tuesday following Bangladesh's disappointing Asia Cup 2025 campaign.

Asia Cup 2025did not disappoint in terms of entertainment value. The eight-team tournament was eventually won by India with arch-rivals Pakistan coming runners-up in a thrilling contest at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.

Bangladesh's regular T20 skipper Litton Das missed the last two matches of the Asia Cup due to an injury and Jaker Ali stepped in for him, both as a captain and the wicketkeeper. The three-match T20I series will kick off on October 2 in Sharjah.

After beating Pakistan in the final, the Indian players had refused to receive the Asia Cup 2025 trophy from Mohsin Naqvi, who is also the Interior Minister for Pakistan and made anti-India posts on social media recently.
