Asian Cricket Council Women's Emerging Teams Cup 2023/24

The Asian Cricket Council Women's Emerging Teams Cup operates as a developmental Twenty20 pathway for cricket in the region. Created to bridge the gap between Under-19 level and senior international representation, the tournament provides a platform for emerging players to showcase their abilities. The competition is organized by the Asian Cricket Council, which oversees the structure and regulations.

Participation distinguishes the event through its mix of squad types. Full Member nations such as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka send 'A' teams or emerging squads rather than their primary national sides. Associate members including Nepal, Malaysia, and Hong Kong field their national teams. This arrangement allows developing cricketing nations to compete against stronger sporting forces without the pressure of full senior status.

The format typically sees teams divided into groups for a round-robin stage, progressing to semi-finals and a final. All matches are played in the Twenty20 format. India A Women have established themselves as the dominant force in the competition, winning the inaugural edition in Hong Kong in 2023 and securing a second consecutive title in Bangkok in 2026. In both victories, they defeated Bangladesh A Women.

The tournament sits below the senior ACC Women's T20 Cup, which features full senior national sides and serves as a qualifier for ICC events. There is no formal promotion or relegation between the two competitions; they remain distinct entities with different participant criteria based on age and experience. While the 2024 and 2025 editions faced cancellations, the competition continues to serve its purpose of player development within Asian cricket.
