The Japan Cricket Association is set to host the inaugural edition of the Women's Sano International Trophy from June 3 to 8. A total of 12 T20I games will be played at the Sano International Cricket Ground in Sano. The tournament replaces the Women's East Asia Cup, which was played from 2021 to 2024.
Five teams - Japan, Hong Kong-China, China, Mongolia, and the Philippines will participate in the competition. All teams will play four games each in the league stage. The top two teams will lock horns in the final, while the third and fourth-placed teams will contest the 3rd/4th place playoff game on June 8.
Notably, Japan's women's team last played in the Women's East Asia Cup in October 2024. They played well to secure three wins in four league games, but eventually ended as the runner-up, losing to Hong Kong Women.
Hong Kong-China Women last participated in the T20 World Cup Asia Region Qualifier in May, where they secured a solitary win and three ended as no result in four appearances.
The China Women's team's last tournament witnessed them taking part in the Women's T20 Quadrangular Series in December last year. They finished fourth in the tournament, with losses in all four games.
On the other hand, the Philippines women's team took part in the Kartini Cup 2025, losing both their games. The Mongolian side last played in the Women's T20I Quadrangular Series (in China), where they lost all three games.
