Cricket too is part of the Olympic movement now and is set for a Games debut in 2028 in the T20 format. However, the eight-nation Asia Cup is not an ICC event and will be conducted by the Asian Cricket Council (ACC), which is currently led by Pakistan Cricket Board chief Mohsin Naqvi.

While the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is officially listed as the host, logistical planning and final touches on the schedule are still ongoing. The tournament window, however, will remain fixed in the second and third weeks of September.
