Srinagar: There is major uncertainty over the conduct of Asia Cup 2025 scheduled in September amid India-Pakistan tensions following Pahalgam terrorist attack.
As per report in Times of India, the Asia Cup 2025 remains under threat as the Indian government has taken a tough stance on cricketing ties with Pakistan amid the attack.
Due to the tensions, uncertainty looms over the eight-team tournament, which is set to be played at a neutral venue.
The tensions between the two Asian countries escalated in the aftermath of the recent Pahalgam attack in Kashmir.
The Indian government is unlikely to grant clearance for the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to play against Pakistan.
Asia Cup was anticipated to be an important preparatory event for the ICC T20 World Cup set to take place in February 2026.
India and Pakistan have not played any bilateral series since 2013. Meanwhile, both teams have frequently faced each other in the ICC and Asian Cricket Council (ACC) events.
