India and Pakistan are almost certain 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. Cricket Age Exclusively learns that 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 sources, 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.
India is the official host for the 2025 Asia Cup.
