The highly anticipated India vs Pakistan match in the Asia Cup 2025, scheduled for September 14 in the UAE, faces increasing uncertainty and potential cancellation. The decision has sparked widespread controversy, especially following India’s strong military response in Operation Sindoor to a tragic terror attack in Pahalgam.
Several prominent figures, including former Indian cricketer Mohammad Azharuddin and Manoj Tiwary, have voiced their opposition to the match, citing security concerns and the ongoing military operations.
Key Issues Surrounding the Match

- Political Distancing: The Indian government has reportedly distanced itself from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) regarding the match.
- Regional Instability: The ongoing instability in the UAE and neighboring regions complicates organizing such a high-profile event.
