The Asia Cup 2025 will be held in the September window after much opposition from several cricket boards and causing a strain of doubt within the member nations of the Asian Cricket Council. However, after the Annual General Meeting of the ACC was held back on the 24th of July, a formal decision was made on the Asia Cup 2025.
The former Sri Lankan Test cricketer Kaushal Silva played for the Lankans from 2011 to 2018, and though he did not have much international exposure, he was a legend of Sri Lankan domestic first-class cricket, where he amassed 13,932 runs in 209 matches, with 41 hundreds.
"Kaushal's dedication to nurturing and developing talent resonates with our vision for the future of cricket in Hong Kong. We believe that under his guidance, we can not only elevate our competitive standing but also promote the sport within our community," said Burji Shroff, chairperson of Cricket Hong Kong.
Kaushal Silva has served in a coaching role previously across Sri Lanka, England, and Australia, but this marks the first major outing in international cricket as a coach for the 39-year-old.
Hong Kong's schedule for the Asia Cup 2025
Hong Kong's last assignment came in the recently concluded Asia Pacific Cricket Champions Trophy played in Singapore, where they lost to Malaysia in the title round. Now with Silva's appointment, they would look to better their stats from Group B, where they are placed alongside Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan.
