DUBAI: The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) has officially announced the postponement of the Women’s Emerging Teams Asia Cup 2025, which was originally scheduled to begin on June 6 in Sri Lanka.
The decision came after Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) President Shammi Silva wrote to ACC President Mohsin Naqvi, requesting a postponement of the event.
Silva cited adverse weather conditions across the region and rising health concerns due to the spread of the chikungunya virus.
“The decision to postpone the tournament comes after consultations were held on a letter received from Mr. Shammi Silva, President Sri Lanka Cricket Board, who wrote to the President of the ACC, seeking postponement of the event citing adverse weather conditions in Sri Lanka and health concerns owing to the spread of chikungunya disease in the region,” the ACC stated in a press release.
“The ACC will announce the new dates for the tournament in due course. We appreciate the understanding of all participating teams, players, commercial partners, and stakeholders.”
ACC President Mohsin Naqvi said the Council remains committed to the development of women’s cricket in Asia and to creating opportunities for emerging talent.
“The ACC is fully committed to providing platforms for young women cricketers to grow and compete,” said Naqvi.
“We understand the importance of this tournament in shaping the future of women’s cricket in the region, and we will work swiftly to reschedule it at the earliest.”
