Women’s Asia Cup 2026 Schedule Announced
The schedule for the Women’s Asia Cup 2026 has been announced. The opening match is set for August 28, while the final will be held on September 13. This marks the sixth edition of the Women’s Asia Cup, which will be played in the T20 format (20-over matches). A total of eight teams are participating in this year’s tournament. Alongside India and Pakistan, the lineup includes teams from Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal, Malaysia, Thailand, and the UAE. Afghanistan does not field a women’s cricket team. Sri Lanka enters the tournament as the defending champion.
Team Squads to be Announced Soon
With the schedule now announced, the team squads are expected to be revealed shortly. Harmanpreet Kaur is likely to retain the captaincy of the Indian team, having led the side during the T20 World Cup. Although the team defeated Pakistan during that tournament, their overall performance was not particularly impressive. It is also worth noting that the Asian Games are scheduled to take place in Japan from September 17 to September 24; consequently, there is a very short turnaround between the conclusion of the Asia Cup and the start of the Asian Games.
