The Asia Cup 2025 cricket tournament is set to commence on September 10 in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), with six teams participating, including India and Pakistan. The event will adopt the Twenty20 (T20) format, and the official schedule is expected to be announced by the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) in early July.
However, India’s participation in the tournament remains uncertain due to escalating political tensions and security concerns. These issues stem from recent events such as the Pahalgam terror attack and India’s Operation Sindoor. As a result, the tournament is likely to be held at a neutral venue to ensure the safety of all teams involved.
Adding to the evolving scenario, two of India’s cricketing icons, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, will not feature in the Asia Cup 2025 squad. Both players retired from T20 Internationals following their victory at the 2024 T20 World Cup, signaling the conclusion of their international T20 careers.
The final decision regarding India’s participation is pending government approval amid the ongoing political challenges. This decision is eagerly awaited as it will significantly influence the team’s involvement and the overall dynamics of the tournament.
