Asia Cup 2025 India fixtures News

As the Asia Cup 2025 approaches, India’s probable squad reveals key developments. Jasprit Bumrah is ruled out due to workload management, while Shreyas Iyer returns after a strong IPL. Rishabh Pant’s participation remains doubtful due to injury, and Suryakumar Yadav’s fitness could force Hardik Pandya to lead. Young pacer Harshit Rana may debut, with Kuldeep Yadav and Varun Chakravarthy heading the spin attack. India’s batting looks solid with KL Rahul, Tilak Varma, and Sanju Samson. Fans await the official squad announcement, with the high-voltage India vs Pakistan clash set for September 14.

A recent report suggests the BCCI may opt out of the Asia Cup 2025 and the Women's Emerging Teams Asia Cup, both scheduled in Pakistan. The move reportedly stems from India’s discomfort with Pakistan’s Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi becoming ACC President. No official statement has been made yet. If confirmed, India’s absence could severely impact the tournament’s commercial value, especially with no India vs Pakistan clash. Broadcasters like Sony may face major setbacks. The situation mirrors India's stance during Asia Cup 2023 and casts doubt on future ACC events, including the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, also set to be hosted by Pakistan.
