Afghanistan Cricket Board’s (ACB) Chairman Mirwais Ashraf and CEO Naseeb Khan attended the Asian Cricket Council’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Bali this week.

According to the ACB, member nations across Asia also attended. A number of financial and operational decisions were approved at the meeting, one of which was an increase in funding for the ACB.

In a statement issued Thursday by the cricket board, the ACB said: “In a significant move, the ACB’s request for the share of the budget equivalent to that of other full member countries including India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka, was approved.”

ACB officials also met with their counterparts from other member countries present and discussed numerous issues including the need to increase the participation of Afghan umpires at ACC matches and the need for additional capacity-building efforts for the ACB’s technical staff by the Asian Cricket Council.

IPL heavyweights Mumbai Indians became the first team to be knocked out of the play-off race after Sunrisers Hyderabad hammered Lucknow Super Giants by 10 wickets.

Five-time winners Mumbai are ninth in the 10-team table on eight points after only four wins in 12 matches, AFP reported.

Hyderabad, led by Pat Cummins, moved third on 14 points after they chased down 166 in 9.4 overs on Wednesday night, courtesy Travis Head’s 89 and 75 by Abhishek Sharma.

Lucknow and Delhi Capitals are both on 12 points and face each other on 14 May meaning Mumbai cannot qualify for the top four to contest the playoffs, even if Hardik Pandya’s side win their two remaining matches.

Mumbai lost their first three games with Pandya booed after he replaced the popular Rohit Sharma as skipper this season.

Table-toppers Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals both have 16 points each.

The final will be on 26 May in Chennai.
