UAE, Kuwait, Singapore, and Hong Kong will compete in a qualifying round, and the victor will go to the main competition alongside India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh.

There will be six teams in the main tournament, split into two groups. Group A consists of India, Pakistan, and the qualifier, while Group B is made up of Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan. Within the group, each team competes once.

The top two teams go to the Super 4 stage, where they play each other once more in a league system before competing in the championship game.
