Overview
- Multiple reports claim the BCCI has informed the ACC of its intention to withdraw from the Women's Emerging Teams Asia Cup in June and the Men's Asia Cup 2025, citing tensions with Pakistan.
- The decision is reportedly tied to objections over ACC leadership by Pakistan's Interior Minister and PCB chairman, Mohsin Naqvi.
- BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia officially denied these claims, stating no formal decision has been discussed or communicated at any level.
- India's potential withdrawal threatens the financial viability of the Asia Cup, as Indian broadcasters and sponsors are critical to the tournament's revenue structure.
- The Asia Cup 2025, originally set to be hosted by India, faces uncertainty as the ACC has yet to announce a revised plan or confirm the tournament's status.
