Asia Cup 2022: History
The Asian Cricket Council Cup is a men’s one-day international and Twenty20 International cricket tournament. The Asian Cricket Council was founded as a measure to promote goodwill between Asian countries and was established in 1983. The first Asia Cup was held in 1984 in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates. In 1976, India boycotted the tournament due to strained cricketing relations with Sri Lanka. From 1990-91, Pakistan boycotted Asia Cup due to strained political relations with India and in 1993, the Asia Cup was canceled due to the same reason. The ICC after observing the downsizing in the tournament announced that the Asia Cup would be played on a rotation basis between One Day International (ODI) and Twenty20 International format. India is the most successful team in the tournament with six ODI and one T20. Sri Lanka is the second most successful team in the tournament and has played the most Asia cups, followed by India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh.
