Asia Cup Rising Stars: The Women’s Asia Cup Rising Stars tournament will be held in Bangkok, Thailand, from February 13-22, the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) said on its social media accounts on Monday.

The tournament, scheduled in the T20 format, aims to highlight emerging women’s cricket talent from the ‘A’ teams of four full-member nations with ODI status and four top associate teams from the Asian region.

The event was originally scheduled to begin on June 6 in Sri Lanka last year, but was postponed at the request of Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) President Shammi Silva due to adverse weather conditions and health concerns related to the spread of chikungunya in the island country.
