ACC Reconvenes Unfinished AGM Amid Asia Cup Drama

The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) is set to reconvene its Annual General Meeting (AGM) on September 30 in Dubai, following a dramatic conclusion to the Asia Cup in Dubai and Lahore. The previous AGM had been adjourned on July 24 in Dhaka.

Upcoming Agenda

• ACC Vice-President Election: The matter was left unresolved at the previous AGM due to opposition from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). This time, the election will be taken up, with Mubashir Usmani, secretary general of the Emirates Cricket Board (ECB), expected to be a contender.
• Asia Cup Issues: Deliberations are expected over the handshake controversy, match referee imbroglio, and Pakistan's pullout threat.
• BCCI Representation: The BCCI's decision on who will represent the board at the ACC meeting may also be a point of contention, with the Women's ODI World Cup starting on the same day in Guwahati.
• Asia Cup Final and Trophy Presentation: The outcome of the Asia Cup final and the subsequent trophy presentation ceremony may also be a controversy waiting to erupt.
