India has decided not to take part in the second edition of Asian Test championships, ending months of speculation. The decision was taken at a meeting between Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Home Minister L K Advani and External Affairs Minister Jaswant Singh in New Delhi this evening, official sources said. The discussions took place on the basis of a letter Union Sports Minister Uma Bharati wrote to the prime minister suggesting India should not participate in the Asian Test Cricket Championship which begins in Multan on August 29 with a match between defending champion Pakistan and newcomer Bangladesh.
