Asia Cup 2025: The Asian Cricket Council AGM happened on Thursday in Dhaka, which was not attended physically by India. After the meeting, PCB and ACC chairman Mohsin Naqvi sounded confident about the future of the continental event. Naqvi, with his words, tried to show a fake sense of unity among the board members. And the fact that the BCCI did not send their representative to physically attend the event, Naqvi downplayed that and said that such things are ‘normal’. Just to cover it up, Naqvi cited an example of how even he could not make it to a meeting in Singapore.

‘BCCI will announce the schedule soon’
