The Indian cricket board has dismissed reports suggesting it has pulled out of upcoming Asian Cricket Council (ACC) events, calling them “speculative and imaginary.”

Earlier in the day, several media outlets claimed that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had informed the ACC of its decision to withdraw from both the Women's Emerging Teams Asia Cup next month and the Men's Asia Cup in September. However, BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia issued a strong denial.
