Overview
- The ACC told participating boards in a July 22 email to keep late‑August free and to tentatively arrive on August 27 for a competition widely reported to run from August 28 to September 13 in the United Arab Emirates.
- The Asian Cricket Council has not issued a formal public announcement of the dates, venues or fixtures and multiple outlets say final sign‑off is still pending from ACC leadership, with some reports linking the hold-up to PCB chair Mohsin Naqvi.
- On August 2 the BCCI briefly posted a provisional India squad and then removed it, citing the ACC’s lack of formal confirmation and leaving India’s selections and planning in limbo.
- If the Asia Cup ends on September 13 as reported, the two finalists would have only four days to travel to Nagoya for the women’s cricket at the Asian Games, squeezing time for recovery, travel and final preparations.
- Venues are still being finalised and eight teams are expected to take part; boards need an ACC announcement to complete travel bookings, hotel arrangements and final squad windows, so confirmation or a revised window will be the key next development to watch.
