2014 Asia Cup

India was originally selected as the host but pulled out in April 2013 citing scheduling concerns. Bangladesh won a bid to become the new host, even shifting their schedule around to accommodate the event.{{cite web | last=Gollapudi | first=Nagraj | title=Bangladesh to host Asia Cup | website=ESPNcricinfo | date=13 April 2013 | url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/bangladesh-to-host-asia-cup-629769 | access-date=15 February 2024}} In January 2014, after a wave of political violence in Bangladesh, doubt was cast over Bangladesh's ability to host the event and the 2014 World T20 that followed it. Sri Lanka offered themselves up as an alternative host for both events.{{cite web | title=Sri Lanka offer to host Asia Cup, World T20 | website=ESPNcricinfo | date=3 January 2014 | url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/sri-lanka-offer-to-host-asia-cup-world-t20-706781 | access-date=15 February 2024}} Bangladesh provided government assurance for extra security during the events, and so it was decided later in January to maintain Bangladesh as hosts. Afghanistan were also confirmed to be participating at this meeting.{{cite web | last=Isam | first=Mohammad | title=Bangladesh to remain Asia Cup host | website=ESPNcricinfo | date=4 January 2014 | url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/bangladesh-to-remain-asia-cup-host-706959 | access-date=15 February 2024}}
