Despite Pahalgam Tragedy, India-Pakistan Likely To Meet In 2025 Asia Cup: Report
Last Updated: Despite calls to cut ties after the Pahalgam terror attack, India and Pakistan look set to resume cricketing ties in September by playing against each other in the 2025 Asia Cup. India and Pakistan are likely to continue their cricketing relations in multi-national tournaments, despite several calls to do otherwise from former players and stakeholders after the Pahalgam terror attack in April. According to a report in Cricbuzz, there's a growing 'optimism' at the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) that the 2025 men's Asia Cup will go as planned, with the opening match likely on September 10. The tournament will be played in the T20 format and will include India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and the UAE. The report noted a 'marked change' from the doubts over the tournament when the Indo-Pak border tensions were at their peak in light of Operation Sindoor. It said that the ACC is set to convene in the first week of July and could release a full schedule for the six-team tournament. India is the official host for the 2025 Asia Cup. However, as per the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB)'s prior arrangements that the Asia Cup editions hosted by them will be played in neutral venues or hybrid models, the UAE is the most likely destination. The last edition — in 50-over format — was held in Pakistan and Sri Lanka in 2023 and saw India and Pakistan play each other thrice. Even then, the ACC was criticised for its opaque scheduling processes and for allegedly deliberately pitting the two rivals against each other for the maximum number of times. The clash is one of the most-watched sporting events in the world and generates crucial revenue for administrative bodies. Current all-format men's head coach Gautam Gambhir was among those who championed cutting all cricketing ties with Pakistan. 'This is my personal opinion," Gambhir said in an exclusive interview with CNN-News18 in May. 'I have said it before as well — sport, Bollywood, artists, everything is not important. The only thing that's important is the lives of our civilians and soldiers. There's nothing bigger than that. Sport can take a backseat, Bollywood movies, artists and everything can take a backseat. My personal opinion is that till this cross-border terrorism is not over, there should not be anything between India and Pakistan. It's not for the gallery. Trust me, it's not for the gallery. I am not here to take all this applause. This is my personal opinion. BCCI or the government can have a completely different opinion on it." After the Asia Cup, India and Pakistan will also meet in the ICC Women's ODI World Cup in India and Sri Lanka on October 5 in Colombo.

IND vs ENG: 'No brainer for India' — Michael Clarke's clear message to Gautam Gambhir before Edgbaston
India's head coach Gautam Gambhir (@BCCI via PTI Photo)(PTI06_08_2025_000305B) As India gears up for the crucial second Test against England at Edgbaston, changes in the playing XI seem certain after the defeat in the series opener. One major talking point is the workload management of Jasprit Bumrah , who may be rested for this match. Besides him, a couple more players could be left out as the team management led by Gautam Gambhir looks for a stronger combination to level the series. Former Australia captain Michael Clarke has made his stance clear about one change. He feels wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav simply must play the next match. Speaking on the Beyond23 Podcast, Clarke said including Kuldeep is an 'absolute no-brainer.' Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! India's bowlers struggled to make an impact at Headingley. While Bumrah stood out with his control and skill, his support cast of Mohammed Siraj, Ravindra Jadeja , Shardul Thakur and Prasidh Krishna could not maintain pressure or pick up wickets consistently. Clarke believes Kuldeep can solve that problem. Jasprit Bumrah Breathes Fire in the Nets | IND vs ENG 2nd Test Prep 'Bowling-wise, I do not want to single out anyone for blame, but India have to play Kuldeep Yadav. He is a genuine wicket-taker and could have made a big difference in the last Test,' Clarke said. Quiz: Who's that IPL player? Clarke also pointed out that India sometimes focus too much on extending their batting depth, even if it means dropping their frontline spinner. He feels that in English conditions, picking bowlers who can take 20 wickets should be the priority. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Why Smart Cooling Is Critical for Modern IT Infrastructure Modern IT Infrastructure | Search Ads Search Now Undo Echoing similar thoughts, former England batter Nick Knight has also backed Kuldeep's inclusion. Knight said England's aggressive batting approach could be tested by Kuldeep's variations, especially if the Edgbaston pitch offers even a hint of turn. Knight believes Kuldeep's presence could create match-defining moments if he hits his rhythm. The team announcement for the second Test is awaited, but calls for Kuldeep's return are only growing louder. Game On Season 1 continues with Mirabai Chanu's inspiring story. Watch Episode 2 here.

India-Pakistan contest on the cards as Asia Cup likely to start on September 10: Report
There were doubts about the Asia Cup 2025 after the terror attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir. Following the tensions between India and Pakistan, it was not known whether the tournament would go ahead later this year. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) faced calls from several sections to boycott all matches with Pakistan and not play them in either ACC or ICC events. However, according to a report in Cricbuzz, the path for the Asia Cup 2025 has been eased, and the organisers are looking to go ahead with the tournament later this year. According to a report, the Asia Cup is likely to start on September 10, 2025. India and Pakistan are both set to participate. (ANI) The report states that the organisers are optimistic about proceeding with the Asia Cup 2025 in September. A formal decision could be made in the coming week. The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) is also planning to release the schedule for the six-team tournament in the first week of July. This year, the tournament will be played in the T20 format, and the organisers are looking at September 10 as the start date. If all goes to plan, the Asia Cup 2025 will feature India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan and the UAE. The UAE remain the frontrunner to host the tournament. Also Read: BCCI refutes claims of pulling out of Asia Cup amid India-Pakistan conflict The report in Cricbuzz also states that there are some discussions going on about holding the Asia Cup in a hybrid model. India are the designated host for the tournament this year, but the ACC had earlier decided that whenever India and Pakistan's turn comes to host the Asia Cup, the competition would be held in a neutral venue. BCCI refutes reports of pulling out of Asia Cup In May 2025, there were reports of BCCI pulling out of the Asia Cup 2025 as calls grew for India to boycott Pakistan in global events after the terror strike in Pahalgam, Kashmir, which killed 26 tourists. The matters escalated further after India launched Operation Sindoor, targeting terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). However, the BCCI refuted all reports of pulling out of the six-team tournament, as board secretary Devajit Saikia confirmed to Hindustan Times that the matter of the Asia Cup has not even come up for discussion. "The Asia Cup matter or any other ACC event issue has not come up for discussion at any level. Hence, any news or report on that is purely speculative and imaginary," he told Hindustan Times. It must be mentioned that India does not engage with Pakistan in bilateral cricket. India last played against Pakistan in the ICC Men's Champions Trophy in Dubai.
