Overview
- The eight‑team Women’s T20 Asia Cup will begin in Dubai on August 28 with all 15 matches at Dubai International Cricket Stadium and live coverage on Sony Sports Network and SonyLIV.
- Teams have arrived in Dubai ahead of the tournament with India landing on August 27 and Pakistan on August 26 as squads were finalised for the contest.
- Pakistan confirmed a last‑minute change after wicketkeeper‑batter Najiha Alvi was ruled out with a left‑knee injury and Sadaf Shamas was added to the squad.
- Concerns raised by several boards about Kōrogi Sports Park in Japan — including an untested surface, a remaining pitcher's mound beyond the boundary and limited dressing‑room space — have prompted ACC inspections and follow‑up by the BCCI and IOA.
- The Asia Cup finishes on September 13 and the Asian Games women’s event begins days later, creating a tight turnaround that could increase player workload, complicate travel plans and force schedule or venue adjustments.
