Do you think the Asia Cup will be successfully in UAE in this September?
Saikia had said, “Since this morning, it has come in our notice about some news about the decision of BCCI, the Asia Cup and women’s emerging teams about the decision not to participate in the Asia Cup, both ACC incidents. Such news is still devoid of any truth or the BCCI has not done anything to write anything about ACC incidents. The Asia Cup Matter or any other ACC event event has not come up for discussion at any level, so any news or report on it is purely speculative and imaginary. It can be said that as BCCI, and when any ACC events are discussed and any important decision is completed, the same announcement will be made through the media. ,
