BCB President Aminul Islam and CEO Nizamuddin Chaudhary welcomed PCB and ACC chief Mohsin Naqvi on reaching Dhaka.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will participate in the annual meeting of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) to be held in Dhaka today. BCCI will be represented by Vice President Rajiv Shukla. The status of Sri Lanka Cricket Board participating or sending a representative to Dhaka is not clear. Earlier, Afghanistan and Oman were reported to have not attended the meeting, but now both will participate, while Nepal will join virtually like BCCI.
Decision on Asia Cup possible The main agenda of the meeting is the Asia Cup 2025. India will host this tournament to be held in T20 format this time. Although ACC has not yet announced the schedule and location of the tournament, it is believed that it may happen in September 2025. Last year in 2023, India refused to participate in the Asia Cup to be held in Pakistan, after which all matches in India were held in Sri Lanka. After the recent terrorist attack in 22 Pahalgam, the discussion on the venue will be important this time in view of the tension between India and Pakistan.
India dominates Asia Cup The Asia Cup started in 1984 and has been held 16 times so far. India has won the title 8 times the most, while Sri Lanka has won 6 and Pakistan 2 times.

Women’s ODI Cup Hybrid Model The Women’s ODI in India is being played on the ODI World Cup hybrid model. All matches in Pakistan will be in Sri Lanka. In this tournament, the Indo-Pak Women’s Women’s Team will be face to face in the league. At the same time, the Indian Women’s and Pakistan will clash during the League in the T20 World Cup to be held in England in 2026.
Bilateral series closed since Mumbai attack Bilateral series between India and Pakistan have been closed since the 2008 Mumbai attack. Now both teams now face each other in the ICC and ACC tournaments. In such a situation, whenever there is an India-Pakistan match, the eyes of cricket fans across the world are on this match. In such a situation, the organizers and broadcasters earn more and more than the India-Pakistan match.
