Cricket will be one of the 38 sports that will be played at the 2026 Asian Games in Aichi Prefecture, Japan. Both men's and women's Twenty20 International tournaments were scheduled to be played.
A final decision on the inclusion of cricket was scheduled for 2025, with the Asian Cricket Council having pushed for the bid and OCA President Randhir Singh was "hopeful" for it. Its inclusion would act as the Asian qualifiers event for the 2028 Summer Olympics.[1][2][3][4] On 28 April 2025, the organizing committee approved the inclusion of cricket and mixed martial arts to the programme, following a request from OCA.
