Afro-Asia Cup Set for Revival After 17-Year Hiatus

The cricket tournament aims to unite Indian and Pakistani players on the same team, fostering collaboration across continents.

The Afro-Asia Cup, last held in 2007, is being revived with support from the Africa Cricket Association and the Asian Cricket Council.
The tournament provides a rare opportunity for Indian and Pakistani cricketers to play together, bridging political divides through sport.
Plans for the revival include expanding the tournament to include U16 and U19 teams, as well as women's competitions.
Financial benefits and increased competitive opportunities are key motivations for reviving the event, according to ACA interim chair Tavengwa Mukuhlani.
The ACA is also exploring the creation of an Africa Premier League, modeled after the IPL, to further develop cricket in Africa.
