The Hangzhou Asian Games Cricket Field is the largest in China, a nation that only made its international debut in 2009.

This was built for the Guangzhou 2010 Asian Games.

The Hangzhou 2022 Asian Games are scheduled to take place from September 23 to October 8 2023 after being postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
