The ACC Trophy or
Asian Cricket Council
Trophy is a
one-day cricket
tournament organised by the
Asian
Cricket Council for the non-test nations in Asia. It was most
recently held in
Malaysia in
2008.
The ACC Trophy is a 50-overs per side tournament played according
to all normal ICC rules and regulations, and paves the way for
Asian non-Test nations to attempt qualification for the
Cricket World Cup.
The teams which are eligible to participate for the ACC Trophy are
the associate members: Hong Kong, Kuwait, Malaysia, Nepal,
Singapore, Thailand, and United Arab Emirates, and the affiliate
members: Afghanistan, Bahrain, Bhutan, Brunei, China, Iran,
Maldives, Myanmar, Oman, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia.
Before the 2008 tournament, the ACC split the ACC trophy into two
divisions, an
Elite division for the top 10 from
the 2006 ACC Trophy and a
Challenge division for
the remaining Asian teams. The Elite tournament format is a five
team per group round robin stage, with the top two teams from each
group progressing into a knock-out stage.
