The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is set to host the upcoming Asia Cup T20 tournament in the United Arab Emirates, as confirmed by the Asian Cricket Council (ACC). An official announcement is expected within the next few days.
The decision emerged from a recent ACC meeting attended by representatives from all 25 member nations, where the venue for the prestigious tournament was finalized. BCCI’s Vice-President Rajeev Shukla participated in the meeting virtually.
According to ACC sources, India will play all of its matches in Dubai, with the tournament scheduled for a little over two weeks in September 2025.
BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia said, “Our vice-president Rajeev Shukla ji attended the ACC meeting. He will brief the members. I don’t believe in speculations so you will get to know officially in a few days’ time,”.
Meanwhile, ACC Chairman and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) head Mohsin Naqvi addressed the media in Dhaka, noting that final details, including the much-anticipated India-Pakistan fixture, are still under discussion. “We will announce it shortly. We have had discussions with the BCCI and there are a few issues that we will resolve shortly. All 25 members attended the meet either physically or virtually. We are all on the same page,” Naqvi said.
