It was established in 1983 when the Asian Cricket Council was innovated as a measure to promote goodwill between Asian countries. It was firstly listed to be held every two times. The Asia Cup is the only international crown in justice and the winning platoon becomes the champion of Asia. It alternates every 2- times between ODI and T20 formats. The first Asia Cup was held in 1984 in Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates where the council's services were grounded( until 1995). India transacted the 1986 event due to simulated cricketing relations with Sri Lanka.

After denting the Asian Cricket Council in 2015, it was blazoned by the ICC that Asia Cup events from 2016 would be played on a gyration base between One Day International and Twenty20 International format, on the base of the format of forthcoming world events.( 4) As a result, the 2016 event was the first event played in the T20I format and worked as a introductory event ahead of the 2016 ICC World Twenty20.
