ACC meet: No official word yet on India's Asia Cup in UAE
Mumbai: The build up to Thursday's Asian Cricket Council (ACC) AGM in Dhaka was marked by simmering tensions between the Indian and Pakistani cricket board and concluded with no official announcement of the 2026 T20 Asia Cup, slated to begin in the second week of September. The election of the ACC Vice President was also not taken up and the meeting was adjourned. Representational image: A logo of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). (REUTERS) It is understood further deliberations are required for the upcoming edition of the Asia Cup to come into force for which the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) have the hosting rights . 'We are in consultations with the BCCI and hopefully we will resolve the (issues) very soon,' Mohsin Naqvi, Chairman, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and ACC told reporters after the meeting. For the tournament to remain commercially attractive, retaining the current structure where both India and Pakistan start in the same group to facilitate a return clash of the arch rivals in the next round and a possible third clash in the final is important. While many ACC members say, the Indian board is on board with the idea in principle, all BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia would say after the meet is 'an announcement will be made in the coming days'. The revenue generated from the men's Asia Cup is insignificant for the well-placed BCCI, but it matters more to all the other ACC member boards. In May, when reports emerged that India would say no to playing Pakistan in the Asia Cup, Saikia had rubbished those reports and said they had not had any discussions on the matter. After the brief armed conflict between Indian and Pakistan in May, dark clouds circled around the possibility of any cricket between the two neighbouring nations. Following a ceasefire, as time passed, the previously agreed understanding of India-Pak contests in multinational tournaments at a neutral venue was back in discussions. Pakistan will be playing their matches of the upcoming ICC women's World Cup to be hosted by India in Colombo. For the upcoming men's Asia Cup, the entire tournament is likely to be moved to Dubai and Abu Dhabi in UAE. While the ACC in its press release reaffirmed members' commitment of 'putting cricket first', that was hardly evident based on events that led up to the meeting. Geo politics writ large over proceedings. First, Naqvi scheduled the meeting in Dhaka against BCCI's wishes. As the Indian cricket officials were unwilling to travel to Dhaka because of strained India-Bangladesh political relations, they made failed attempts to outlaw the meeting. Ultimately, India attended the AGM virtually, with BCCI Vice President Rajiv Shukla logging in. Cricket in 2026 Asian Games The ACC announced the inclusion of cricket in the upcoming Asian Games 2026 to be held in Japan, which will see ten men's and eight women's teams participating from across the continent, to be chosen based on their rankings. Previously, cricket has been a medal discipline in three editions - 2010, 2014 and 2023. Among other outcomes, Mongolia, Uzbekistan, and the Philippines were added to the 25-member ACC.

'It was rubbish': Ricky Ponting slams India's bowling effort at Old Trafford, shares what went wrong
Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett run during Day Two of the 4th Test Match vs India at Old Trafford (Photo by) India were bowled out for 358 in their first innings of the 4th Test at Old Trafford, with Ben Stokes leading England's bowling effort with a brilliant five-wicket haul, which was his first in Tests since 2017. But what followed next was a frustrating passage of play for the visitors, as the English opening pair of Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett gave their team a strong and steady start. The Indian bowlers failed to take early wickets, allowing England to build momentum without much resistance. Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting didn't mince words while analysing India's performance, echoing sentiments expressed earlier by former India head coach and legend Ravi Shastri. 'I think we heard it when we were waiting to come out just before the break, what Ravi Shastri said. It was rubbish. They just missed their areas," Ricky Ponting said on Sky Sports Cricket . "I'm not sure what they were expecting out of the surface, but I was surprised that they actually went with (Anshul) Kamboj ahead of (Mohammed) Siraj with the new ball to start with, knowing what impact Siraj has had on this series so far, and knowing how important the start of England's batting innings is. You know they're going to come out and play their shots." How and why Rishabh Pant's England tour could come to an abrupt end due to toe fracture Ponting was particularly critical of India's line and length early in the innings. "I think they had to go to their best and most experienced bowlers. They got off to a flyer — way too straight to Duckett, so many boundaries square of the wicket on the leg side. You know you can't bowl there. So they've got some work to do now. They've got to get together at the break and work out how they're going to bowl to try and slow the scoring down, but then also work out how they're going to get these two out," added the veteran. India's bowling options were already under strain going into this Test, with injuries ruling out Nitish Kumar Reddy and pace duo Akash Deep and Arshdeep Singh. Poll What was the key factor in India's struggle during the first innings? Poor bowling line and length Strong batting from England Injuries to key players That left the team with no choice but to hand a debut to uncapped Haryana pacer Anshul Kamboj. The youngster nearly picked up a wicket in his first over but was denied by fine margins — moments India would go on to rue as England's openers took full advantage. As the second session drew to a close with no wickets in the bag, India's hopes now rest on their bowlers striking back in the final phase of the day. Both Crawley and Duckett scored half-centuries, frustrating the Indian bowlers, as they continue their search for the first wicket.
