A serious dispute between India and Pakistan is threatening the 2025 Asia Cup cricket tournament. The conflict centers around the scheduled venue for the Asia Cricket Council’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Dhaka. India’s Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) strongly opposes holding the AGM in Dhaka due to geopolitical tensions with Pakistan. If Dhaka remains the AGM venue, India has hinted it may boycott the Asia Cup. On the other side, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) might also withdraw if the AGM venue changes.
This standoff follows other heated encounters between the two cricket boards, including a recent fistfight and controversies over match points for a canceled fixture. The unresolved dispute is generating uncertainty over the participation of these top cricketing nations in the upcoming tournament.
