Bangladesh is set to host the Asia Cup once again, despite recent security fears which prompted Australia to cancel a tour. The tournament featuring five teams is scheduled to be played from February 24 to March 6 next year in the Twenty20 format for the first time. Test nations Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka will get direct entry, while the UAE, Oman, Hong Kong and Afghanistan will compete for the fifth spot. The qualifying tournament will be played in the UAE in November.
