The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) firmly denied media reports claiming that India intends to withdraw from the upcoming Men`s Asia Cup and the Women`s Emerging Teams Asia Cup, both Asian Cricket Council (ACC) events, in response to escalating political tensions with Pakistan.

Following the tragic terrorist attack in Pahalgam of South Kashmir on April 22, cross-border hostilities between India and Pakistan have intensified, raising questions about the future of bilateral cricketing ties. However, the BCCI has clarified that no official discussions or decisions have been made regarding India’s participation in the aforementioned continental tournaments.
