The continental governing body for cricket in Asia is called the Asian Cricket Council (ACC). Its main office is in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where it was founded in 1983. All of the Asian countries that participate in Test matches are among the ACC’s 25 member associations. The main goals of the ACC are to develop cricket in Asia, host international cricket competitions there, and speak for the interests of its member associations before the International Cricket Council (ICC).
The Asia Cup, the ACC Emerging Teams Asia Cup, the ACC Women’s Asia Cup, and the ACC Under-19 Asia Cup are just a few of the competitions and tournaments that the ACC puts on. It also plans the Asia Cup Qualifier, a competition that determines who advances to the Asia Cup. The growth of cricket in Asia is also a result of the ACC. It runs a number of development programs, including the ACC Cricket Development Programme and the ACC Women’s Cricket Development Programme, and it offers financial assistance to its member associations. Jay Shah, the current ACC president, is also the BCCI’s (Board of Control for Cricket in India) secretary.
