"Mission Asia Cup 2025 begins! Seeking prayers from the best supporters in the world for me and my team. We promise to give our very best in the UAE – taking it one match at a time, with the ultimate dream of lifting the trophy," Litton wrote on his official Facebook page today, sharing pictures of himself aboard the flight.

Meanwhile, opener Tanzid Hasan Tamim posted: "Asia Cup calling, keep us in your prayers." In his post, he shared a picture of himself along with Shamim Hossain, Rishad Hossain, and Parvez Hossain Emon.
Bangladesh head into the eight-team tournament on the back of a successful home series against the Netherlands. The Tigers beat the Dutch 2-0 in a three-match series in Sylhet, with the final game abandoned due to rain earlier this month.
Placed in Group B, Bangladesh will begin their Asia Cup campaign against Hong Kong on 11 September in Abu Dhabi. They will then face Sri Lanka on 13 September and Afghanistan on 16 September at the same venue.
