The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) has on Monday (June 2) officially postponed the ACC Women’s Emerging Teams Asia Cup 2025, which was scheduled to begin on June 6 in Sri Lanka. The ACC has taken the decision after Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) President Shammi Silva requested ACC President Mohsin Naqvi to postpone the tournament due to an unavoidable situation.

In the letter, Shammi Silva mentioned two major concerns and they are the ongoing bad weather in Sri Lanka and rising health risks due to the spread of chikungunya disease in the region. Taking these concerns seriously, they decided to delay the tournament to ensure the safety of players and staff.
