Recently, the final schedule of the Asia Cup 2022 was announced. The tournament is set to take place in the United Arab Emirates. With little more than three weeks left at the start of the tournament, the official broadcaster in India has released its promo. In the promo, India skipper Rohit Sharma was seen walking toward his national kit. In the video, he has a special message for the 1.4 billion fans.

The right-hander said that even after winning seven titles and becoming a top side, there is no greater motivation to watch the fans chant "India-India". The video was uploaded by Star Sports a couple of hours ago and has already gone viral. At the time of writing, the video has garnered 3026 likes and counting and is watched by 44,600 views and counting.

Talking about the Men In Blue's schedule in the tournament, they will play their first game against arch-rivals Pakistan on August 28. The first game of the tournament will be played a day earlier between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan. Notably, the India-Pak game will be played in Dubai. The fans will remember the last game between the Asian rivals in the 20-20 World Cup last year. The match was played at the same venue.

Once again, both teams will meet each other at the same venue after 10 months. In that game, the Green Brigade won by 10 wickets. They will be looking to repeat the results in the upcoming game as well. It is also needs to be noted that they have announced their squad for the tournament. On the other hand, India are yet to announce their squad. It can be safely assumed that they are waiting for the ongoing series against the West Indies to end.
