The report adds that minor adjustments may still occur in the proposed schedule. Currently, matches are planned to be held in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

The tournament, originally scheduled to be hosted by India in September, was poised to be relocated due to logistical and political challenges, though India is expected to retain hosting rights.
