The impasse regarding the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) appears to have been resolved, with the BCCI set to attend the meeting in Dhaka virtually. Initially, the BCCI had threatened to boycott the event presided over by PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi. The discussion will undoubtedly include the venue of the Asia Cup T20, which the BCCI is scheduled to host. The UAE, with its grounds in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah, has emerged as a strong contender. Sri Lanka is also in the running to host, as India will not travel to Bangladesh. “BCCI will be represented virtually by its vice-president Rajeev Shukla, who is the designated ACC board member. Since the venue with regards to Asia Cup needs to be zeroed in on, BCCI decided to attend the meeting virtually,” an ACC source was quoted as saying to PTI. What Is BCCI’s Stance On Asia Cup? The BCCI had previously requested the continental body to shift the venue, putting its Bangladesh tour in August on hold. The Indian board is hesitant to travel to the neighbouring nation due to political unrest and the lack of a stable government. There was a possibility of BCCI, the Afghanistan Cricket Board, and SLC boycotting the ACC meeting. Without these three permanent Test-playing nations, there wouldn’t have been a quorum, rendering the meeting invalid. PCB chairman Naqvi is already in Dhaka for the meeting, along with representatives from other member nations. A BCB representative, who wished to remain anonymous, told PTI that they completely understand the current situation. “The Bangladesh Cricket Board is merely a facilitator for the meeting. We are only providing logistical support for the meeting. We have kept a liaison officer who is co-ordinating with representatives of member nations, arranging for their travel and stay,” a BCB source added. (With inputs from PTI)
