I willcomment only after receiving the official confirmation from the Indiangovernment.”Dalmiya however had said earlier that the Asian Cricket Council (ACC)would go ahead with the Asian Test Championship as per the scheduleeven if India pulled out. He had said at the end of a two-day ACFconclave held in Kolkata on August 16 that ACC would ‘bend backwards’to accommodate India even at 11th hour but not at the cost ofdisrupting the ATC schedule.Dalmiya had however conceded that the “championship will lose much ofits glamour if India pulled out.”
