Bangladesh will be hosting the Asia Cup cricket tournament in 2014 most likely in the months of February-March. India had agreed to host the 2014 edition, however they backed out citing a packed international schedule and Bangladesh is set to host the Cup for the second time in a row. 

The probable dates for the tournament will be February 24 to March 8. 

The decision was taken at the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) board meeting on April 8 in Kuala Lumpur. India had informed the Asian Cricket Council that they were trying to finalize the itinerary for the New Zealand tour, scheduled to be held in February-March next year. However Bangladesh, in order to host the tournament, have agreed to postpone a scheduled tri-series involving Sri Lanka and Pakistan around the same time. 

There is a possibility of the probable dates changing again as the BCCI has been trying to convince New Zealand Cricket for two Tests, two ODIs and two T20Is, which will enable India to compete in the Asia Cup. The ICC's Future Tours Programme (FTP) has India scheduled to play three Tests, five ODIs and a single Twenty20 international.
