The Afro-Asia Cup, last active nearly two decades ago, is poised for a comeback as the Africa Cricket Association (ACA) explores a partnership with the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) to revive the series.

Held in 2005 and 2007, this unique cricket series unites teams from Asia and Africa, featuring cricketing powerhouses and emerging nations. Despite the success of its initial editions, the tournament has not been held since 2007.

The ACA prioritized the return of the Afro-Asia Cup during its Annual General Meeting on Monday. Additionally, the association plans to launch the Africa Premier League, a T20 league inspired by the Indian Premier League (IPL).

Historically, the Afro-Asia Cup offered a platform for cricketing engagement between India and Pakistan, countries whose cricketing interactions have been confined to ICC events since 2008 due to geopolitical tensions. The tournament could see players from these nations team up, fostering unity and excitement among fans.

Tavengwa Mukuhlani, interim chair of the ACA, confirmed ongoing discussions with ACC representatives and other stakeholders to ensure the event’s return. While formal agreements are pending, the ACA remains optimistic about the partnership’s prospects.

The proposed Africa Premier League aims to replicate the IPL’s success and enhance cricket’s profile across Africa. Cassim Suliman, ACA CEO, mentioned that preparations, including securing sponsorships, are underway to launch the league effectively.

Mukuhlani, who also heads Zimbabwe Cricket, highlighted the significance of South Africa and Zimbabwe’s participation in providing valuable experience for emerging teams in the new league. As planning progresses, the Africa Premier League is expected to significantly boost viewership and fan involvement, mirroring the IPL’s impact in India.
