ACC to go ahead with AGM; clarity likely on Asia Cup
Posted on July 24, 2025 by cbtfhome

The impasse over the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) meet appears to have been resolved, as the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the ACC in Dhaka now set to go ahead, as planned. The key stakeholders (all Test playing nations) - the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC), Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) and Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) - seem to have reached at some kind of an understanding on several issues, including on the contentious Asia Cup.

Whether or not there will be a formal announcement on the continental championship, clarity is expected after the meeting on Thursday (July 24) - with the chances of the event taking place now higher than not. The reserved window for the tournament is from September 10 to 28.

Several ACC members are believed to have arrived in the Bangladesh capital, including Mohsin Naqvi and PSL CEO Salman Naseer. It is being suggested that members of the Afghan Board are scheduled to arrive too. The AGM is scheduled to begin at 2 PM local time in Dhaka.

There had been uncertainty over the quorum for the meeting, but that now appears to be resolved, with the required numbers seemingly in place. The big question, however, is whether the BCCI will attend. It is understood that some members could join the meeting online, and one of them could be the BCCI.

Apart from the venue, there were differences over the AGM's agenda, which, until Wednesday evening, had not been formally circulated among the members. However, it is understood that a compromise has been reached on this front as well.
