Notably, former champions West Indies missed out after a defeat to Scotland. Ireland and Zimbabwe, both full members, also failed to make the cut, leaving only Sri Lanka from the four full members in contention.

Controversy Before Event
In 2023, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) was on the brink of boycotting the Asia Cup due to a disagreement with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). The source of contention stemmed from BCCI’s refusal to participate in the 2023 Asia Cup, initially slated to take place in Pakistan. Fortunately, a resolution was achieved in June 2023 when the Asian Cricket Council announced the adoption of a hybrid model, championed by PCB. As per this arrangement, nine out of the 13 matches in the 2023 Asia Cup will be conducted in Sri Lanka.
