Asian Cricket Council (ACC) President Mohsin Naqvi will not attend the Asian Games 2026 cricket final in Nagoya, Japan, due to pre-scheduled personal commitments.

Pakistan, India to Battle for Gold
Pakistan and India will face each other in the gold medal match, while Bangladesh and Sri Lanka meet in the bronze medal match, with both fixtures scheduled for tomorrow.
How Pakistan Got There
Pakistan reached the final after defeating Bangladesh by six wickets in the first semi-final at Nishin, Japan. Chasing a revised target of 112 in a match reduced to 13 overs per side due to a wet outfield, Pakistan completed the chase in the 12th over. Bangladesh had scored 111 for seven, led by Towhid Hridoy's 42, before Sufiyan Muqeem (3 wickets) and Arafat Minhas (2 wickets) kept them in check with the ball.
