This tournament gives A teams a chance to test young players before they join senior squads. The 2013 edition in Singapore featured Under-23 players only.
The format changed to A teams in later years to give emerging cricketers more competitive matches. All games use T20 rules, with each team playing three group matches before knockouts begin.
