In a significant development surrounding the Asia Cup 2025, the highly anticipated match between India and Pakistan has been cancelled amid increasing tensions and security concerns. The decision follows India’s strong military operation, called Operation Sindoor, launched in response to a terror attack in Pahalgam. This operation has raised fears and heightened emotions, leading to calls from notable figures to avoid the match.
Several prominent individuals have voiced their concerns:
- Former Indian cricketer Manoj Tiwary has openly opposed the India-Pakistan fixture because of the current volatile situation.
- Mohamad Azharuddin also expressed apprehensions about staging the match given the recent terror incidents.
The Indian government has reportedly distanced itself from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on this issue, adding to the uncertainty surrounding the match.
The game was initially scheduled for September 14 in the United Arab Emirates but now appears unlikely to proceed. This cancellation highlights the broader political and security challenges impacting sports events in the region. The Asia Cup 2025 is facing significant disruptions, with key games being reconsidered due to the ongoing tensions between the two countries.
