Asia Cup 2025: Will India and Pakistan face each other in Asia Cup 2025?

The date of organizing the Asia Cup 2025 is approaching, but the situation still remains unclear on the match between India and Pakistan. The big conversation in this case may be held in the ICC Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Colombo, which is scheduled to be held from July 17 to 20.

New Delhi: There is much uncertainty about the 2025 Asia Cup event, especially for the match between India and Pakistan. Officials of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) are going to gather in Colombo soon to discuss the issue.

The meeting will be held from 17 to 20 July in Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka, where there may be significant talks between senior board officials, reports Dynamite News correspondent. The Asia Cup is hosted by the Asian Cricket Council (ACC), but the final decision regarding organizing the tournament can be taken only after talks between BCCI and PCB.

It is not yet clear whether matches will be played between India and Pakistan for the Asia Cup, because the issue has been controversial many times due to political relations between the two countries.

Important statement of the Government of India

Sports Minister Mansukh Mandavia, Government of India, recently made an important statement in Parliament. He said, "India will play with Pakistan in international tournaments, but there will be no bilateral series between the two countries." After this statement, the situation regarding the Asia Cup has become a bit clearer, as the BCCI has got the green signal from the Government of India, which was earlier waiting for the situation to be clear.

A big decision on the Asia Cup is possible

Important decisions can be taken regarding the Asia Cup in the meeting to be held in Colombo. It is believed that the Asia Cup will get the highest revenue from the India-Pakistan match, and it will be a high-voltage match for fans of both countries. However, there is still confusion about the India-Pakistan match, and the solution can be found in the Colombo meeting itself.

ACC was going to suffer a big loss

If India refused to participate in the Asia Cup, it could have become a major financial crisis for the committee organizing the Asia Cup. The biggest source of financial benefit for organizing the Asia Cup is a match between India and Pakistan. On getting permission from India, the ACC can now find a way to avoid heavy financial losses.

Possibility of meeting and decision in Bangladesh

According to reports, on July 24, another important meeting of the ACC is going to be held in Bangladesh's capital, Dhaka, in which a big decision can be taken on the future of the Asia Cup. Earlier, the BCCI was not thinking about attending this meeting, but now, after getting approval from the Government of India, BCCI representatives can attend this meeting, and there may be an important announcement on the Asia Cup organizing.
