The Asia Cup 2025 cricket tournament is scheduled to start on September 10 in the United Arab Emirates, featuring six teams, including India and Pakistan. Nonetheless, political tensions have raised concerns about the participation of Team India.
Following the Pahalgam terror attack and India’s Operation Sindoor, security worries are prominent. As a result, the tournament is expected to be held at a neutral venue to ensure safety for all teams involved.
Significantly, two of India’s biggest cricket stars, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, will miss the Asia Cup 2025. Both players retired from T20 international cricket after winning the 2024 T20 World Cup, marking a major change in the Indian squad’s lineup.
The final approval from the Indian government regarding Team India’s participation remains pending, influenced by ongoing political tensions in the region.
The Asian Cricket Council is anticipated to release the official tournament schedule in early July.
The Asia Cup will follow the T20 format, promising thrilling cricket action despite the uncertainties surrounding the event.
