The issue of hosting the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) annual general meeting in Dhaka has been at the center of discussion for a week. The Indian Cricket Board had threatened to boycott the BCCI meeting if the venue was not changed. It is also said that Afghanistan and Sri Lanka will also boycott the ACC meeting. However, a day ago, it was learned that India will also attend the meeting.
Meanwhile, representatives of the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) have arrived in Dhaka to attend the ACC AGM. Apart from this, officials of the Sri Lanka and Nepal Cricket Boards will also join online like India. BCB President Aminul Islam Bulbul said this.
Talking to the media, he said, “We are organizing the ACC meeting in Bangladesh. We have managed to convince everyone to take on the responsibility of the organizer, everyone is joining in the interest of cricket. Those who are unable to come will join online. Among the full members, Afghanistan will join tonight (yesterday), Sri Lanka and India have said they will join online.”
Later, regarding the relationship with the Indian Cricket Board, the BCB president said, “Our relationship with the Indian Cricket Board has always been good. It is still good. You know that we have postponed the series. We have ensured that the two boards meet at the most free time. I have personally been in touch with the BCCI yesterday and today. Since the relationship between us has always been good. We will maintain that.”
The ACC meeting on July 24-25 is likely to take a final decision on the upcoming Asia Cup, which has been in limbo for a while. India is hosting the six-team tournament, but Pakistan is not willing to play there. Due to this problem, the ACC has not yet announced the schedule or venue for the Asia Cup.
