The Asian Cricket Council, on Wednesday, announced the introduction of the Women’s Under-19 T20 Asia Cup.

The Executive Council of the ACC made the decision at a meeting in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, stating through a press release that, “By giving emerging female cricketers in Asia the opportunity to compete on an international platform, this tournament aims to provide crucial experience and readiness, ultimately helping Asian teams perform better on the world stage.”

The ACC’s decision to create a new tournament comes on the back of the successful launch of the women’s Under-19 T20 World Cup, which was first held last year in South Africa last year with India beating England in the final for the title.
