T20I tournament to be held in 2023-24
Kohli, Azam likely to captain their respective teams
Virat Kohli and Babar Azam, two of the best batsmen in the world, may soon be seen playing in the same team. The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) is planning to revive the Afro-Asia Cup, a T20I tournament that was last held in 2007.
The tournament is likely to be held in 2023-24, and will feature teams from Asia and Africa. Kohli is likely to captain the Asian team, while Azam is likely to lead the African side.
The Afro-Asia Cup was first held in 2005, and was played every two years until 2007. The tournament was discontinued due to lack of interest from broadcasters and sponsors.
However, the ACC is now keen to revive the tournament, and is confident that it will be a success. The tournament will be played in a T20I format, and will feature some of the best players in the world.
The return of the Afro-Asia Cup will be a major boost for cricket in both Asia and Africa. The tournament will provide a platform for players from both continents to showcase their skills, and will also help to promote the game.
