Asia cup 2023
2023
The Asia Cup is a one-day (50 overs) and twenty-over (20 overs) international cricket competition for men. When the Asian Cricket Council was launched in 1983 as a way to foster goodwill among Asian nations, it was established at the same time.
Originally, it was planned to happen every two years. The Asia Cup is the sole cricket continental championship, and the victorious team is crowned Asia's champion. Every two years, the ODI and T20I formats are switched.
The council's offices were located in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, where the first Asia Cup was contested in 1984 (up till 1995). India stayed away from the competition in 1986 because of its tense cricketing relations with Sri Lanka.
Due to tense political ties with India, Pakistan boycotted the 1990–1991 tournament, and the 1993 tournament was called off for the same reason. The ACC declared that beginning in 2009, the tournament would take place every two years.[3] All of the Asia Cup matches have been declared official ODIs by the ICC.
The Asian Cricket Council was reduced in size in 2015, and the International Cricket Council (ICC) declared that, starting in 2016, Asia Cup matches would alternate between One Day International and Twenty20 International formats in accordance with the format of upcoming international competitions.[
India is the most successful team in the competition with seven titles (six ODI and one T20I). With six victories, Sri Lanka is the second-most successful team, behind Pakistan's two championships. Sri Lanka has participated in the most Asia Cups (15), followed by Bangladesh with 14, India with 13, and Pakistan with 12.
