We have talked about the Team India squad for Asia Cup 2022 but we cannot ignore the 4 other major teams in this tournament and all these teams have the capability of winning this Cup for their nation. We will talk about the teams of Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Afghanistan in this article and I leave it up to the readers to decide which of these 4 teams can challenge India in this Asia Cup which is starting tomorrow.
Before we look at all these teams I just want to say that I hope that we see more close matches in this Asia Cup which will help all the teams in preparing for the World Cup later this year. There are some veterans and some Beth exciting young players that can show the audience at large how good they are. So, with all that being said let’s look at each one of the 4 major teams other than India in this Asia Cup.
