With just over a week left for their blockbuster Asia Cup 2025 clash, Indian cricket team and Pakistan cricket team came across each other for the first time on Saturday. Both teams practiced at the International Cricket Council (ICC) Academy in Dubai ahead of the tournament. According to a report by ESPNCricinfo, India held their second training session since arriving for the competition in United Arab Emirates (UAE).

The session reportedly lasted for over three hours with all specialist batters spending around an hour out in the middle. On the other hand, Pakistan arrived for practice ahead of their tri series final against Afghanistan. Both teams reportedly stuck to their routines and there were no conversations or pleasantries exchanged between players from both teams.

Indian middle order batters SR vs different types of bowling since 2023..


What’s on show here is that most of these bats have complementary skills, meaning in order to maximize the team’s overall output, they will have to play really rather prudently to their favored match-ups.

Rinku’s junk against spin, Axar’s junk against pace. SKY’s uncharacteristically slow against slow left-armers, and leg break is Tilak’s kryptonite.

With public outrage brewing over India’s scheduled Asia Cup clash against Pakistan on September 14 in Dubai, BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia has defended the fixture, citing government policy on participation in multinational tournaments. The criticism stems from the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam on April 22, where 26 tourists were killed.

Amid calls for a boycott of the match, including disapproval from former cricketers and fans, Saikia clarified that the Indian cricket board is acting in accordance with guidelines issued by the central government. The revised policy, introduced in August, permits Indian athletes and teams to participate in multinational events featuring countries not on friendly terms with India, while continuing to bar bilateral engagements with those nations.

"So far as the BCCI's view is concerned, we have to follow whatever the central government formalises," Saikia told ANI. "Recently, our policy, which is in place, regarding India's participation in any multinational tournament or international tournament, there is no restriction imposed by the central government on whether we play any of the countries which are not on good terms with India."

He reiterated that India's participation in the Asia Cup and other ICC events is mandatory under international commitments. "As the ICC Cup is a multinational tournament involving the countries of the Asia continent, so we have to play. And also, for any ICC tournament, when there is a country which is not on friendly terms with India, we have to play in the international tournaments," he said.

Bilateral contests, however, remain off the table. “So far as bilateral is concerned, we are not going to play with any of our hostile countries,” Saikia said, drawing a firm line in line with national policy.

He also warned of the broader implications if India were to boycott a multinational event. According to Saikia, refusing to participate in matches against certain countries could invite sanctions from global sporting bodies, not just in cricket but across other sports disciplines as well.

"So we are following the policy framed by the government of India, the Youth and Sports Development Department," he said. "And for that, BCCI will have to do it. And we are very happy to follow the policy. That policy is very nicely done, taking into consideration not only cricket, but also other games."

To highlight the seriousness of the issue, Saikia pointed to the potential risks athletes like Neeraj Chopra could face if similar boycott sentiments were applied in other sports. "Suppose in athletics, India is not playing a particular tournament because we have to play with a player belonging to a hostile country. In that situation, if any sanction comes with the Indian Athletic Association, then take the example, suppose Neeraj Chopra, he won't be able to participate in any international event. So that will be detrimental to the interests of the players."

Saikia noted that the government had likely accounted for all such scenarios before formulating a balanced approach that protects national interests while ensuring athletes remain part of the global competitive landscape.

Both BCCI and the Government of India are receiving sticks from Indians for this decision.

Pathetic from bcci. We kill their people in india be it pehalgam or in a battle, and they still want to play us.

No self respect.

Money will always matter more than an indian life

LOL. Correct.

Just a few weeks ago, some of the Indian posters here were chest thumping how India was going to boycott. They have mellowed down now. :yk

Pure comedy.
 
Whatever the article says, itni technicality mere bheje meh hee nahin ghusta!

Regardless, a lot of Indians are absolutely displeased. Most of my friends are fuming.​
 
Asia Cup 2025: Why aren’t India-Pakistan tickets selling out?

Tickets for the much-anticipated India vs Pakistan clash in the Asia Cup 2025 have not sold out fully, despite the rivalry being one of the biggest spectacles in world cricket. The two teams are scheduled to face each other at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday, September 14.

This comes as a surprise considering the enormity of the contest. However, the lacklustre ticket demand is being linked to the ‘package system’ introduced by the organisers this year. Unlike previous editions, where fans could purchase tickets exclusively for the India-Pakistan match, this time they are required to buy a bundle covering seven matches.

The organisers had introduced the system to promote other group-stage matches in addition to the marquee India-Pakistan encounter. But the high pricing has seemingly backfired. Fans from India, Pakistan, and abroad expressed disappointment on social media, with many demanding the release of single-match tickets closer to the fixture.

Another major grievance was that the package does not include the Super Fours or the final. “Purchasing the package would have made sense had the knockout matches been a part of it,” one fan pointed out online.

Political Backdrop Adds to the Tension
The match also carries political weight. Earlier this year, following the terror attacks in Pahalgam, a section of Indian fans called for the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to withdraw from the tournament. The Indian government, however, clarified that while bilateral cricket with Pakistan remains suspended, India will continue to participate in multi-nation events that feature Pakistan

As per the current schedule, India and Pakistan are placed in Group A alongside Oman and hosts UAE, while Group B features Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Hong Kong. Matches will be played at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium and the Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi.

From what I've seen. Axar definitely has issues against express Right arm pace.

Pandya vs Nawaz will be interesting.

Rinku seems like a pace basher and spin bunny. I haven't seen him play though

Parag from what I saw in emerging Asia cup is solid with good potential.

Dube is good too.

Sky is India's best T20I better. Yet to perform against Pakistan though.

Tilak seems good too. Though a few issues against spin.

Where's Abhishek? I think his SR will be high against all types of bowlers.

Well you may be right about the match eventually not getting cancelled but its not takia kalam. You need to understand, majority of Indians dont want this match to happen. There has been debates in parliament where MPs have demanded this match to be called off. There has been surveys done by reputed agencies and majority had said no to this game. In Indian forums, this match will not be even covered or discussed. Yes some do want to see this match and that is only bcoz Pakistan is ranked 7 side and we want to have some asthetic pleasure in beating them.

Maybe there is some majboori in BCCI for accepting this game which came as a shock for everyone. But remember, BCCI is a private board and does not represent sentiment of all Indians. As far as Indian Govt is concerned, this is easily the worst step they have taken since coming to power in 2014 and can well be political suicide unless there is some bigger game/gain that I am missing.

I already have said the same to some Vikram guy here, that the only reason we still have tickets showing up is because not many want to spend 1000+ AED to watch India vs UAE or Pakistan vs Oman.

Why would @Rajdeep and his cousins buy tickets that includes the opportunity of watching Pakistan playing Oman :shappy

Hahahahahahahha, biggest lie of the century. You were shameless to begin with 🤣.

Let's say I did go with that bet. How can you even ensure either of us would follow suit?

Did @Devadwal ever respond to chanderpaul which he said he would? Or respond to my claims post asia cup?

To this day they have remained unanswered and he's vanished from said threads. He has proven himself to be untrustworthy and a liar like you?

To top it off, unlike me, you 2 can simply create alts to troll which both of you likely have done so.

Also you need to stop respecting devad and treating him as your equal. You're a middle class guy with years of experience + a uni degree considering UK offered you a sponsorship + your communication skills are good.

The other is a jaipurian and a lower class scum whos gone to a school thats honestly sad and pathetic. His communication style reeks of uneducated troll. Not to mention his railway job.

Then again it doesnt matter. One would be employed as a chaiwala at my company and you'd some IT guy I'd forget to pay on occasion.

Is BCCI or Indian Govt. Putting Indians on gunpoint that they have to watch and follow the match against Pakistan?
 
Lets put your money where your mouth is.

@Rajdeep

Atm I am in Bangkok going to Phuket soon. If the match is boycott, I will return to Pakistan or take a vacation to Australia to meet some friends.

If the match goes ahead, it's your life that is 💀.

Go ahead, Stake your life on it. 👺👺.

Ps: I'm just joking here. Enjoy your day. I hope god gives you a great life Amen. (This is the irl version of me talking, now back to PP version next comment)

Happy to inform you that the 3-day match passes for the four General Stands have been sold out, while the Platinum tickets are also sold out.

So there are people dumb enough to spend money to watch either India v UAE or Pakistan v Oman I guess :mv
