The Men’s ACC Emerging Teams Asia Cup was introduced in 2013 as a 50-over competition between some of the top countries in the Asian continent. After 5 successful editions of the tournament between 2013 to 2013, the organisers decided to try the tournament in the 20-over format as well, which first took place in 2024.
