Five Indians and four Pakistanis will be part of the star-studded commentary panel for the upcoming Asia Cup 2023, which will begin on August 31.
While Ravi Shastri, Gautam Gambhir, Sanjay Manjrekar, Irfan Pathan, and Deep Dasgupta will represent India, Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, Ramiz Raja and Bazid Khan will be there for Pakistan.
Meanwhile, Athar Ali Khan and Russel Arnold will be the sole voices from Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, respectively. There are no commentators in the panel from Afghanistan and Nepal but New Zealand's Scott Styris is present as the neutral voice.
The panel is almost identical to the one for the previous Asia Cup in 2022, with only Raja and Bazid being the new additions.
Asia Cup 2023 schedule
