The Asia Cup 2025 is likely to commence on September 10, with the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) expected to release the official schedule in the first week of July. This development brings a sense of optimism after months of uncertainty due to political tensions between India and Pakistan. A formal decision regarding the tournament is anticipated soon.

Tournament Details

The Asia Cup 2025 will be the 17th edition of the tournament. It will be played in the T20 format, serving as crucial preparation for the ICC T20 World Cup 2026. Six teams are expected to participate: India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Host Nation and Venue

While India is the designated host, the tournament is likely to be held at a neutral venue due to the ongoing political tensions between India and Pakistan. The UAE is currently the frontrunner to host the tournament. A hybrid model, where some matches are held in another country, is also under consideration. The Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium (Abu Dhabi), and Sharjah Cricket Stadium are potential venues in the UAE.

Tournament Format

The format of the Asia Cup 2025 will be similar to previous editions. The teams will be divided into two groups. The top two teams from each group will advance to the Super Four stage, followed by the final. Each team in the Super Four stage will play against each other once.

India and Pakistan Participation

Despite the political tensions, both the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) are expected to participate in the Asia Cup 2025. The BCCI is awaiting approval from the Indian government regarding their participation. Recent reports suggest a thaw in relations, with India and Pakistan scheduled to face each other in the Women's ODI World Cup and the Women's T20 World Cup.

Teams

The Asia Cup 2025 will feature a mix of established cricket nations and emerging teams.

The likely teams are:

  • India
  • Pakistan
  • Sri Lanka
  • Bangladesh
  • Afghanistan
  • United Arab Emirates (UAE)
  • Oman
  • Hong Kong

Looking Ahead

The ACC is likely to announce the schedule for the Asia Cup 2025 in the first week of July. Cricket fans around the world, especially those in India and Pakistan, are eagerly awaiting the tournament.
