The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Secretary Devajit Saikia has categorically denied the reports of withdrawing from the Men’s Asia Cup and the Women’s Emerging Teams Asia Cup.
BCCI yet to take a call on Asia Cup
Earlier today, it was reported that the BCCI has contacted the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) and pulled out of the two events due to the tensions between India and Pakistan. This isn’t true at all. The BCCI have currently diverted all their focus to the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 and the upcoming England Test Tour and aren’t thinking about ACC events right now, as per him.
“Since this morning, it has come to our notice about some news items about BCCI’s decision not to participate in the Asia Cup and Women’s Emerging Teams Asia Cup, both ACC’s events. Such news are devoid of any truth, as till now, the BCCI has not even discussed or taken any such steps regarding ensuing ACC events, let alone writing anything to the ACC. At this stage, our prime focus is on the ongoing IPL and subsequent England series, both men and women,” Saikia told the Times of India.
“The Asia Cup matter or any other ACC event issue has not come up for discussion at any level; hence, any news or report on that is purely speculative and imaginary. It may be said that the BCCI, as and when any discussion on any ACC events takes place and any important decision is reached, the same will be announced through the media,” Saikia added.
