The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) successfully concluded its Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Thursday in Dhaka, with all 25 member nations in attendance.
ACC President Mohsin Naqvi extended his appreciation to the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) for their exceptional hospitality during the two-day gathering.
“I would like to thank the BCB for their warm hospitality and all member countries for their active participation,” Naqvi stated at a press conference held after the meeting.
Naqvi, who also chairs the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), emphasized the collective determination of the member nations to drive Asian cricket forward.
“We have decided to work together for the betterment of cricket,” he affirmed.
Describing the AGM as both “fruitful and memorable,” Naqvi indicated that the meeting yielded productive outcomes and fostered a positive collaborative spirit among the participating nations.
“These two days were truly memorable. No one wants politics involved — the meeting was held in a very positive environment.”
Regarding the Asia Cup 2025, Naqvi assured that a final decision is imminent, adding that discussions with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) are ongoing.
“A decision regarding the Asia Cup will be announced shortly,” he stated. “Talks with the Indian Cricket Board are ongoing, and we’re optimistic everything will be resolved in due course.”
Responding to queries about the absence of certain individuals, Naqvi clarified that while not everyone could attend in person, every member board was represented.
“Some people couldn’t make it to Dhaka — that happens. I myself missed a meeting in Singapore once. Sometimes it’s due to scheduling conflicts, but the important thing is that all member boards were represented.”
Stressing the significance of unity and collaboration, Naqvi highlighted the shared responsibility of fostering cricket’s growth in the region.
“This is a team effort, and we will continue to hold such meetings in the future,” he added.
He also confirmed that discussions on various matters with the Bangladesh Board are currently underway.
“Please wait for the official announcement,” he concluded.
