Asia Cup 2025 in limbo; BCCI, SLC to skip ACC AGM in Dhaka

The uncertainty surrounding the fate of the 2025 Asia Cup continues to deepen ahead of the Asian Cricket Council’s (ACC) Annual General Meeting, scheduled to take place on Thursday, July 24, in Dhaka. The political tensions between India and Pakistan, heightened by a military skirmish in May, have already cast a shadow over the tournament, and the situation now threatens to complicate matters further.

As per an ESPNcricinfo report, two major ACC stakeholders, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and Sri



Lanka Cricket (SLC), have opted not to send their representatives physically to the meeting. While it remains unclear whether they will join the sessions virtually, their absence from the venue could impact discussions, particularly regarding the Asia Cup.

The Asia Cup, involving eight teams, is scheduled to be played in the UAE this September. Although the BCCI holds the official hosting rights, their absence at the AGM raises fresh questions about tournament planning, logistics, and overall commitment to the event.
