THE Asia Cup has been postponed for a second year after the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) said on Sunday (23) there was no room on the calendar to host the rescheduled tournament.

The 2020 edition was postponed to 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic but the ACC said a packed Future Tour Program (FTP) made it impossible to hold it this year and it would be held in 2023 instead.

England are set to host Sri Lanka, Pakistan and India in various formats between June and September while the Twenty20 World Cup is scheduled to take place in India from October to November.

"The board has accordingly considered the matter very carefully and determined that the only way ahead would be to postpone the event," the ACC said in a statement.

"It would therefore only be feasible for this edition of the tournament to be held in 2023 as there is already an Asia Cup in 2022. Dates for the same will be confirmed in due course."

India are the defending Asia Cup champions, having beaten Bangladesh by three wickets in the 2018 final in Dubai.

Will government inaction on science, trade & innovation cost the UK its economic future?

Dr Nik Kotecha OBE

As the government wrestles with market backlash and deep business concern from early economic decisions, the layers of economic complexity are building.

The Independent reported earlier in January on the government watchdog’s own assessment of the cost of Brexit - something which is still being fully weighed up, but their estimates show that “the economy will take a 15 per cent hit to trade in the long term”. Bloomberg Economics valued the impact to date (in 2023) at £100bn in lost output each year - values and impact which must be read alongside the now over-reported and repetitively stated “black hole” in government finances, being used to rationalise decisions which are already proving damaging.

AT THE Maha Kumbh Mela in India's Prayagraj, modern technology is being used to enhance traditional practices. Chai Point, in collaboration with the Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF), has introduced robotic tea-making stalls at the event.

These automated tea stations aim to serve over one crore cups of chai throughout the Mela. The tea is prepared using Nandini brand milk, and organisers plan to set a Guinness World Record for the most cups served at a single event. Despite having only 10 stalls, each can serve thousands of cups daily to meet the demand of millions of visitors.
