Asian Games 2026 cricket medal winners: Full list of men’s & women’s gold, silver & bronze
Cricket’s journey at the Asian Games has been one of the more remarkable growth stories in the sport’s recent history, and Aichi-Nagoya 2026 marks another chapter in that journey.
From its debut at Guangzhou in 2010, the sport has steadily established itself as one of the most watched disciplines at the continental multi-sport showcase, and this edition promises to be no different.
The Olympic Council of Asia gave cricket its first green light at the 2010 Guangzhou Games, where Twenty20 cricket was introduced as a vehicle to bring South Asia’s enormous fanbase into the Asian Games ecosystem.

Both the men’s and women’s events drew significant interest from the outset, giving smaller associate nations valuable exposure while letting the regional heavyweights compete for a prestigious new title.
The sport was present again at Incheon 2014 before an unfortunate absence from the 2018 Jakarta-Palembang edition. It roared back at Hangzhou in 2023, drawing packed venues, full-strength regional squads and extensive broadcast coverage that confirmed its permanence on the continental calendar. India took both gold medals that year, and they’ve returned to Aichi-Nagoya as defending champions in both competitions.
