Former India opening batter Virender Sehwag has taken a dig on the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) over the scheduling of the continuing Asia Cup. Sehwag’s feedback got here after the blockbuster sport between India and Pakistan was washed out on account of rain in Kandy, Sri Lanka. Notably, the continuing Asia Cup is being held below the hybrid mannequin after India refused to journey to Pakistan for the event. The India vs Pakistan led to a no-contest after rain washed out your entire second innings.
Taking to social media platform X (previously Twitter), Sehwag posted: “Baarish ke time toh Chai Pakode rakhte hain yaar. Asia cup bhi rakh diya. (During the rainy season, you have fritters, and now they are having Asia Cup as well).”

Earlier, former Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Najam Sethi had additionally criticised the ACC over the scheduling of the Asia Cup.
Sethi stated that his suggestion to play within the UAE was turned down and “poor excuses” have been made to accommodate Sri Lanka.
“How disappointing! Rain mars the greatest contest in cricket. But this was forecast. As PCB Chair, I urged the ACC to play in UAE but poor excuses were made to accommodate Sri Lanka,” Sethi posted on X.
“Too hot in Dubai, they said. But it was as hot when the Asia Cup was played there last time in Sep 2022 or when IPL was played there in April 2014 and Sep 2020. Politics over sport. Unforgivable!,” he added.
While Pakistan have already certified for the Asia Cup Super 4, India must keep away from a defeat in opposition to Nepal of their remaining group match.
