The secretary of the Indian cricket board, Devajit Saikia, has refuted claims made by media personnel regarding India's plans to skip attending the Asia Cup in 2025 due to its strained relations with Pakistan.   A few Indian news outlets published a story stating they had information concerning the BCCI's (Board of Control for Cricket in India) plans to abandon the Asia Cup contest set for September in Pakistan, purportedly because the Asian Cricket Council is chaired by a Pakistani – Mohsin Naqvi, who

Although India and Pakistan appear to have arrived at a ceasefire agreement after a brief four-day military skirmish, it seems that their animosity has found a new outlet: Cricket.    Indian sources claim that the country’s cricket board is considering pulling out of the Asia Cup set to take place in September this year due to the fact that the Asian Cricket Council is led by Mohsin Naqvi, a Pakistani minister who also serves as the Chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).   In
