This is the sixth edition of the Asian cricket showpiece, but it is the first time that the ACC Emerging Teams Asia Cup will take on a T20 format. All five previous editions followed the 50-over format.
While India won the first edition back in 2013, Sri Lanka were the champions in the 2017 and 2018 editions. The two most recent editions, held in 2019 and 2023, were won by Pakistan Shaheens.
Pakistan A beat India A by 128 runs in the final at Colombo’s Premadasa Stadium last year to lift the trophy.
- Group A: Afghanistan A, Bangladesh A, Sri Lanka A, Hong Kong China
- Group B: India A, Pakistan A (Pakistan Shaheens), Oman, United Aram Emirates (UAE)
