The Malaysia Quadrangular Series 2022 is all set to kick off on Saturday, July 2, with Malaysia hosting all the matches lasting for nine days. The competition will witness 12 round-robin matches, with the final scheduled to be played on July 11. 

The four participating teams, namely Malaysia, Maldives, Thailand, and Bhutan, will be locking horns with each other twice in the competition with the top two teams qualifying for the final. Notably, all the matches of the series will be played at YSD-UKM Cricket Oval, Bangi, Malaysia.
