“So far as the BCCI’s view is concerned , we have to follow whatever the central government formalises. Recently , our policy – regarding India’s participation in any multinational or international tournament – clearly states that there are no restrictions imposed by the central government on playing against countries not on friendly terms with India. So, India has to play all matches in any multinational tournament,” Saikia said as per ANI.

“As the Asia Cup is a multinational tournament involving countries from the Asian continent, we have to participate. Similarly , in any ICC tournament , even if it involves a country not on good terms with India , we are required to play. As far as bilateral ties are concerned , we are not going to play against any hostile nation,” he added.
