The upcoming Asian Games which will be held in Hangzhou, China will have a set of three mascots which are sporty robots known as the "smart triplets". Congcong, Lianlian, and Chenchen each represent a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the host city. These three mascots were chosen from a total of 4,633 submissions for the mascot designs. 

The first robot Congcong represents the archaeological ruins of Liangzhu City and is the color of a bumper harvest. Its name comes from the Jade Cong pendant - a quintessential relic unearthed from the ruins which date back 5,000 years. The second robot is named Lianlian, green coloured mascot, that represents West Lake and its name signifies a lake full of lotus leaves. 

The third and final mascot is a robot named Chenchen, which represents the Grand Canal which runs from Beijing and finishes in Hangzhou. It takes its name from Gongchen Bridge - a landmark structure on the Hangzhou section of the Grand Canal and represents science and technology. Cricket will be played in both men’s and women’s events in this edition of the Asian Games.
