The BCCI have denied reports claiming that India have pulled out of the 2025 Asia Cup. The Indian cricket governing body's secretary Devajit Saikia claimed it is a topic BCCI have not yet discussed with their focus solely on completing the 2025 Indian Premier League and the national team's tour of England.

Saikia's statement comes hours after various reports claimed that the BCCI have told the Asian Cricket Council, which is headed by Pakistan Cricket Board chief Mohsin Naqvi, that India will not take part in the Women's Emerging Asia Cup and the Men's Senior Asia Cup.

"Since this morning, it has come to our notice about some news items about BCCI's decision not to participate in Asia Cup and Women's Emerging Teams Asia Cup, both ACC's events. Such news are devoid of any truth as till now BCCI has not even discussed or taken any such steps regarding the upcoming ACC events, leave alone writing anything to the ACC. At this stage, our prime focus is on the ongoing IPL and subsequent England series, both men and women," said Saikia in a statement as per Cricbuzz.

However, the BCCI secretary did not rule out the possibility of and claimed that BCCI will announce their position on the Asia Cup in due course of time.

"The Asia Cup matter or any other ACC event issue has not come up for discussion at any level, hence any news or report on that is purely speculative and imaginary. It may be said that BCCI will announce in due course as and when any discussion on any ACC events should take place or any key decision is reached," Saikia stated.

For those unversed, the Asia Cup's status has been thrown into major doubt after Operation Sindoor as India launched a counter-strike on terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan Occupied Kashmir post the barbaric Pahalham Terrorist attacks.

The Women's Emerging Asia Cup is set to be hosted by Sri Lanka next month. India are the official host nation of the 2025 Men's senior Asia Cup which will be played in the T20 format.
