The crisis over the host of Asia Cup 2025 is deepening. India and Sri Lanka have decided not to attend the ACC meeting to be held in Dhaka on 24 July. This decision was taken due to political tension and security reasons. Now questions are being raised on the hosting of the tournament.
Delhi: The Asia Cup 2025 to be held in September has been cloudy. There is less than two months left for the tournament to start, but the decisions of India and Sri Lanka have raised questions on this. The two countries have decided not to attend an important meeting of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) to be held in Dhaka on 24 July.
India and Sri Lanka will not be in ACC meeting
According to a report, India and Sri Lanka have opted out of the meeting. However, this meeting will be on the scheduled date. The official said that if a country does not want to come to Dhaka, then he can also attend the meeting through video call. All member countries have been given 15 days time to clarify their position.
Tension in relations between India and Bangladesh is also being given a reason for this decision. However, BCCI has described the reason for the cancellation of the series. But political situation can also be a big reason for this.
The Asia Cup 2025 is hosted by India and it will be played in T20 format. However, the tournament will be in the hybrid model. Pakistan will play outside India. It is likely that his matches may be held in Dubai.
Reports also said that the entire tournament can be shifted to UAE. ACC has formally asked BCCI if they still want to host it. BCCI has made it clear that he will not send its officer Dhaka because the situation there is not stable.
If the Asia Cup is postponed or canceled, England and Sri Lanka are ready to play bilateral series with India during that time.
