The Asian Cricket Council Asia Cup is a men's One Day International and Twenty20 International cricket competition. It was laid out in 1983 when the Asian Cricket Council was established as an action to advance generosity between Asian nations.
Being held like clockwork was initially booked. The Asia Cup is the main mainland title in cricket and the triumphant group turns into the bosses of Asia. It substitutes clockwork among ODI and T20I designs.
The main Asia cup was held in 1984 in Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates where the chamber's workplaces were based (until 1995). India boycotted the 1986 competition because of stressed cricketing relations with Sri Lanka.
Pakistan boycotted the 1990-91 competition because of stressed political relations with India and the 1993 competition was dropped for a similar explanation.
The ACC reported that the competition would be held biennially from 2009 onwards. The ICC has decided that all games played in the Asia Cup have official ODI status. Subsequent to cutting back the Asian Cricket Council in 2015, it was reported by the ICC that Asia Cup occasions from 2016 would be played on a pivot premise between One Day International and Twenty20 International organization, based on the configuration of forthcoming world occasions. Thus, the 2016 occasion was the main occasion played in the T20I design and worked as a preliminary competition in front of the 2016 ICC World Twenty20.
India, with seven titles (six ODI and one T20I), is the best group in the competition. Sri Lanka is the second-best group, with five. Sri Lanka has played the most Asia Cups followed by India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh who have played 13 each.
