The much-anticipated India vs Pakistan match in the Asia Cup 2025 has been officially cancelled due to escalating political and security tensions. Originally set for September 14 in the UAE, the match faced cancellation following India’s military response, Operation Sindoor, prompted by a recent terror attack in Pahalgam.
Prominent personalities from both the cricketing and political spheres have voiced their concerns about the match continuing under the current circumstances. Notable figures include former Indian cricketer Manoj Tiwary and political leader Pawan Dewan, who have emphasized the sensitivity of the ongoing security situation.
Adding to the complexity, the Indian government has publicly distanced itself from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), further complicating the possibility of the match proceeding.
