BCCI Secretary Devajit Lon Saikia: With the Asia Cup around the corner and the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 set to begin later this month, BCCI Secretary Devajit Lon Saikia shared his views on India’s preparations, governance policies, and upcoming events.

India will open their Group A campaign against the UAE at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on September 10, followed by a high-stakes clash against Pakistan at the same venue on September 14, before facing Oman at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi on September 19.

The 17th edition of the Asia Cup marks India’s first T20I outing since winning the home series against England by 4-1 in January. The tournament also serves as a crucial build-up platform for India ahead of next year's T20 World Cup, to be held in India and Sri Lanka, where they will enter as the defending champions.
