BCCI Threatens to Boycott ACC Meeting in Dhaka; Asia Cup 2025 in Doubt

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has taken a firm position by deciding to boycott any resolutions at the upcoming ACC Annual General Meeting scheduled in Dhaka on July 24. This stance poses a threat to the future of the planned Asia Cup 2025, which remains unscheduled amid escalating tensions.

Why BCCI Is Taking This Stance

The BCCI has formally communicated to the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) that it will not participate in decisions made at a Dhaka-based meeting. Safety concerns in Bangladesh and lack of venue change prompted this refusal.

Role of Mohsin Naqvi & PCB

The ACC meeting is chaired by Mohsin Naqvi, who also heads the Pakistan Cricket Board and serves as Pakistan’s Interior Minister. The BCCI has blamed Naqvi’s insistence on Dhaka as exerting “unnecessary pressure” on Indian cricket officials.

Impact on Asia Cup 2025

With the ACC unable to proceed legitimately in India’s absence, the status of the Asia Cup remains in limbo. Traditionally held in September, the tournament is yet to be scheduled or assigned a confirmed venue.

Backing from Other Members

Cricket boards from Afghanistan, Oman, and Sri Lanka have also expressed objections to Dhaka as the venue, supporting India’s safety concerns. Despite these, Mohsin Naqvi continues to press ahead with the meeting.
