The Asia Cup 2025 cricket tournament is set to begin on September 10, with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) expected to host the event amidst ongoing political tensions between India and Pakistan. The tournament will follow the Twenty20 format and feature six teams, including both India and Pakistan.
Despite concerns arising from the recent Pahalgam terror attack and India’s Operation Sindoor, officials remain optimistic about the participation of both teams. Notably, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will not participate as they retired from T20 internationals after the 2024 T20 World Cup.
The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) is expected to announce the final schedule in early July. Due to security considerations and political sensitivities, the tournament may be held at a neutral venue, with the UAE emerging as the leading candidate.
