The Asia Cup 2025 schedule is expected to be announced within the next 48 hours. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has received clearance from the Indian Ministry of External Affairs. This approval allows India to play against Pakistan in the tournament.
The Asia Cup 2025 will take place from September 8 to 28. It will feature eight teams, including India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, UAE, Oman, and Hong Kong. The tournament will use a Super Four format after the initial group stage.
Reports say that differences between India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh have been resolved. This development clears the way for the finalization of the Asia Cup schedule. The United Arab Emirates, especially Abu Dhabi, is likely to host the event. The UAE is known for its modern facilities and political neutrality.
The BCCI is finalizing the tournament schedule quickly after receiving diplomatic clearance. The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) recently held its annual meeting in Dhaka. The meeting was chaired by ACC President and Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman Mohsin Naqvi. Representatives from 25 member countries attended, some joining online.
Naqvi said talks with the BCCI about the Asia Cup schedule are ongoing. He expressed hope that the final dates would be confirmed soon. There is also talk about expanding the Asia Cup from six to eight teams.
The ACC meeting focused on keeping politics out of cricket. Naqvi praised the positive and cooperative atmosphere among all member nations. He thanked the Bangladesh Cricket Board for hosting the meeting.
Fans are advised to wait for the official Asia Cup 2025 schedule. The much-awaited India-Pakistan match remains a key highlight of the tournament. The Asia Cup 2025 promises exciting cricket action and renewed cooperation among Asian cricket boards.
