ACC Annual Meeting Concludes in Dhaka Without Final Decision on Asia Cup – SUCH TV

The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) concluded its Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Thursday in Dhaka, with representatives from all 25 member nations in attendance.

ACC President Mohsin Naqvi praised the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) for its outstanding hospitality during the two-day event.

“I sincerely thank the BCB for their gracious hospitality and all member nations for their active and constructive participation,” Naqvi said at a post-meeting press conference.

Naqvi, who is also the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), underscored the collective resolve of the member nations to propel Asian cricket forward.

“We have decided to work together for the betterment of cricket,” he affirmed.

Naqvi described the AGM as both “fruitful and memorable,” indicating productive outcomes and a positive collaborative spirit among the participating nations.

“These two days were truly memorable. No one wants politics involved — the meeting was held in a very positive environment.”

Regarding the Asia Cup 2025, Naqvi assured that a final decision will be made soon, adding that discussions with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) are ongoing.

“A decision regarding the Asia Cup will be announced shortly,” he stated. “Talks with the Indian Cricket Board are ongoing, and we’re optimistic everything will be resolved in due course.”

Responding to concerns about the absence of certain individuals, Naqvi clarified that while not everyone could attend in person, every member board was represented.

“Some people couldn’t make it to Dhaka — that happens. I myself missed a meeting in Singapore once. Sometimes it’s due to scheduling conflicts, but the important thing is that all member boards were represented.”

Stressing the importance of unity and collaboration, Naqvi highlighted the collective responsibility of working for the growth of cricket in the region.

“This is a team effort, and we will continue to hold such meetings in the future,” he added.

He also confirmed that discussions with the Bangladesh Board on several matters are underway.

“Please wait for the official announcement,” he concluded.
