Countdown to Asia Cup 2023: Excitement Builds as Opening Match Approaches
The much-anticipated Asia Cup 2023 is just around the corner, set to kick off on Wednesday amidst great anticipation. The co-hosts, Pakistan, are prepared to inaugurate the continental event by facing Sri Lanka in Multan, aiming to make a victorious start to their campaign. Meanwhile, cricket enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting the clash between arch-rivals India and Pakistan, scheduled for September 2 in Kandy, Sri Lanka. The tournament promises intrigue, especially with the return of players like KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer, who are rejoining the action after overcoming their injuries.
Following the group stage, the Super Four stage will commence from September 6, with two teams advancing from each group. The stage is set for intense competition as these teams vie for a coveted spot in the final.
The culmination of the Asia Cup 2023 will be witnessed on September 17, as the two top teams from the Super Four stage collide in a high-stakes summit clash.
India’s squad for the Asia Cup was unveiled last week, featuring selections announced by BCCI chief selector Ajit Agarkar and skipper Rohit Sharma. However, a cloud of uncertainty loomed over KL Rahul’s fitness following his selection. Agarkar acknowledged that Rahul had been dealing with a minor injury. To err on the side of caution, head coach Rahul Dravid confirmed that the talented wicket-keeper batter would sit out the first two matches of the tournament.
The inclusion of KL Rahul in the continental tournament marked a significant moment after his prolonged battle with injury. Yet, the announcement, coupled with Sanju Samson’s inclusion as a backup, failed to completely alleviate concerns within the cricket community.
