Asia Cup 2025: India’s Asia Cup set to withdraw from 2025, BCCI told Pakistan-ACC dispute

News India Live, Digital Desk: Asia cup 2025: This may be a major setback for the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and the Asian Cricket Council (ACC), as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has allegedly conveyed its decision to withdraw the ACC from the Asia Cup 2025. The move, which was taken due to increasing political tension between India and Pakistan, is putting a long shade on the future of the tournament.

The BCCI has opted to exit the Women Emerging Team Asia Cup 2025 in Sri Lanka next month. Currently, the ACC dispute headed by Pakistan’s Federal Home Minister Mohsin Naqvi is at the center of the dispute – Indian authorities have cited the main reason behind the conflict of interest and the growing national spirit being out.

The return came after Operation Sindoor, which was a military operation in response to a deadly attack in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir recently by India, in which 26 civilians lost their lives. Being at the lowest level of diplomatic relations, the BCCI attitude reflects the wider government position of keeping itself away from any platform run by Pakistani authorities – even in the field of sports.

A senior BCCI source told

“The Indian team cannot play in a tournament organized by the ACC, which is a head of Pakistan.

Effect on Asia Cup 2025: Can the tournament be canceled?

With this decision of India, the foundation of the Asia Cup 2025 is going to be shaken, which was to be held in T20 format in September, aimed at preparing the T20 World Cup 2026. The current champion India defeated Sri Lanka in the final of the 2023 edition and it was expected that it would become the main attraction of this competition this time.

Most of the sponsors of the Asia Cup are from India and India is the largest audience in the region, in such a situation the absence of BCCI ends not only the competitiveness of the tournament but also its commercial viability. Now the probability of cancellation or further delay is very high, unless the compromise model – such as the hybrid format used in 2023 – is not re -considered.

Domino Effect: What does it mean for PCB and ACC

Its results are important for Pakistan Cricket Board. The strict attitude of the BCCI can lead to a large -scale boycott of events under the ACC umbrella, until the leadership is changed. It is noteworthy that the last time the Asia Cup was held in Pakistan, a hybrid model was formed as a result of the refusal of India tour, with all Indian matches played in Sri Lanka.

This has also created a worrying situation for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which Pakistan has to host. In view of the increasing reluctance of BCCI to participate in any event organized by Pakistan, the ICC may face increasing pressure to change the venue or adopt a neutral ground format.

What will be the next match of India vs Pakistan in cricket?

Due to the stagnation of bilateral relations and the threat of multilateral matches, India vs. Pakistan Cricket Retunction – one of the most watched matches of the game – the future of one of the most watched matches is uncertain. These high-voltage matches, which dominate the TV ratings and digital audiences worldwide, can now be limited to the ICC global tournament, even if the same.
