Asia Cup is one of the most prestigious tournaments for Asian countries which is usually organized over a gap of two years. With the help of this tournament, many non-test playing nations get opportunities to play big teams like India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, etc. which increases the reach of the sport as well.

Asia Cup 2022 is the postponed version of the 2020 season due to the covid outbreak. Most of the Asia Cup seasons were in the ODI format but the 2016 season was in the T20 format and the 2022 season will also be played in the t20 format as well.
