Asia Cup 2025: BCCI and PCB in stand-off over AGM venue of ACC
The Island
|July 24, 2025
A major power tussle is brewing between India and Pakistan, with potential implications on the cricket field particularly the Asia Cup.
-
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is considering boycotting the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB)-chaired Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC), scheduled for July 24 and 25 in Dhaka.
The BCCI has insisted that the venue be shifted from Dhaka as a condition for its participation, and its stance is reportedly backed by key allies like Sri Lanka and Afghanistan. This has thrown the legality of the AGM itself under a cloud, as the presence of at least three permanent (Test playing) members is required to meet the quorum.
Of the five permanent (Test-playing) members - India, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Bangladesh - the first three appear to be opposed to the meeting in Dhaka. Additionally, the ACC constitution mandates the presence of at least 10 full or Associate members (non-Test playing nations) for a valid quorum, and it appears unlikely that this requirement will be met either.
