Overview

  • The BCCI has officially informed the ACC and its chair that it will not attend the July 24 AGM in Dhaka unless the venue is relocated
  • Sri Lanka, Oman and Afghanistan cricket boards have joined India’s stance, citing political strains with Bangladesh
  • ACC Chair Mohsin Naqvi remains steadfast on Dhaka, risking legitimacy as ACC rules void decisions without key member participation
  • With only five days before the meeting and no reply to venue-change requests, decision-making on the Asia Cup 2025 is stalled
  • Non-participation echoes the ICC’s earlier use of neutral venues in cross-border fixtures, underscoring geopolitical influence on cricket administration
