The Asia Cup 2022 is slated to begin in the UAE on August 27, but before this big tournament, four big players have been out of the fight for Asian supremacy due to injuries. Before the 15th season of the Asia Cup, the Indian team also suffered two setbacks. The surprising thing is that the 3 teams from which 4 players have been dropped, all of them are fast bowlers. In this way, three teams have a big setback.
The Indian team suffered a major setback before the Asia Cup in the form of Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel, while Shaheen Shah Afridi was ruled out of the tournament for Pakistan's side. At the same time, now on Monday, the Sri Lankan team had to face a big setback in the form of Dushmanta Chamira. All of them are fast bowlers and all have got some kind of injury and because of that, they are out of the tournament.
This season of the Asia Cup will see one more team, apart from India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan, entering the tournament through qualifiers and being part of the group comprising India and Pakistan. Qualifiers are currently underway in Oman. Teams from United Arab Emirates, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Kuwait are participating in this, the team which will top the points table will qualify.
