Multiple outlets report the tournament runs in late January into early February and includes group-stage matches across venues in Chattogram, Sylhet and Kathmandu.
The Hindu highlights the start of India’s campaign and notes the tournament structure, describing four groups of four teams and matches across the three host cities. Kathmandu Post focuses on Nepal’s role as host, saying Kathmandu will stage 15 matches and that Nepal’s group includes Ireland, India and West Indies.
