This year Asia cup will be held in India as Host
will Pakistan travel to India to participate ?
will there be a hybrid model?
or will Pakistan boycott it??

Mohsin Naqvi clearly told that Pakistan will not travel to India for any tournament
recently ICC had mediated a solution for the next 3 years in which it is agreed in principle that Both countries will not play in each others country and Pakistan will participate in Worldcup T20 2026 and will play all its matches in Sri Lanka

but remember that mediation and solution is only for ICC events
Asia Cup is not ICC event and so far this matter has not discussed between the boards
so far there is no consensus on it

if Pakistan agree to sent its team for Asia cup and refuse for ICC events, this doesn't make any sense
with Mohsin Naqvi set to take the ACC chairmanship what do you think will happen?

will Pakistan manage to get a hybrid model or will agree to come to India this Oct for ASIA CUP ?
 
What will happen…

India promises to play a bilateral series in Pakistan in 2026 if Pakistan travel to India for the Asia Cup.

Pakistan agrees and travels to India.

Fast forward to 2026, India refuses to play Bilateral series in Pakistan.

You can repeat this for the 2026 WT20 as well.
 
BCCI has ruined our champion trophy

we must need to take a firm stand this time in ASIA CUP

with Mohsin Naqvi as chairman of ACC , things might get in Pakistan favor
 
We're playing an Asia cup this year?

@Rajdeep ??? Genuinely I'm asking, i didn't know we were.

Anyway the short answer is yes, Pakistan will travel.

It will not be in India. I think the tournament will once again be moved to Dubai with BCCI being host board.

It is partly because BCCI has no interest in hosting Asia Cup tournament in India just before the start of home season.

Is it odi or t20?

If it's t20, why so early? Aka before 2026 wc? If it's odi, then what's the point of hosting one after CT?
 
Doesnt matter if they don't, but will be fun if they do. Looking forward to how things unfold. :yk
 
Asia cup is not going to happen in india but UAE so no problem at all .

Last time india hosted Asia at home in 90s

:kp
 
Once front foot journalist said during the champion trophy 2025 controversy that ASIA CUP 2025 in T20 Format is going to held in India and this matter is also pending for negotiation between two boards

I think where PCB chairman got things wrong accepting hybrid model is assuming that hosting Asia Cup is a matter of prestige for Bharat like CT seems to be the case for Pakistan.

In reality, a successful or failed Asia Cup is the last thing BCCI cares about. PCB's *** for tat may not exactly work as expected.

Especially since profits of Asia Cup are shared by other nations not BCCI , I think.
 
In 2018 also Indian govt denied bcci permission to Asia cup .so nothing different this time too.i hope tournament will be in Lanka than uae

This is where I don't like the some BJP government policy .

They can denied the permission for the Asia cup but happily granted permission for the ICC tournaments ?

But icc tournaments are more profitable than Asia cup .one more issue is every one knows pak is the main card for Asia cup even for bcci to pretend it's not a big deal to host Asia cup.

The principles are built on weak foundations. Money/international standing outweigh these principles which makes them pointless other than for PR purposes at home.

But why?

India don't want to travel Pakistan due to security concerns. The merit of it can be debated but it is what it is. BCCI has stuck to this stance since 2008 Mumbai attacks. However, Pakistan has travelled to India in 2012, 2016 & 2023. So what will be the reason for Pakistan not travelling to India suddenly?

'Just because you are not coming, we will also not go' is not good enough reason I am afraid.

Anyway, Asia cup will be played in Dubai...so issues this time. However, Pak team will be travelling to India next year for WT20 2026 to play the India game and finals (if qualify).

Sorry but not following…

Why does BCCi have no interest in hosting Asia Cup in India?

It should make more money than random bilateral series…

@Bhaijaan @Devadwal
 
We will be glad to host our Pakistani brothers in Bharat.

No Pakistan will not be in India for T20 World cup at all. The agreement has stated that the Pakistan-India match will be in Sri Lanka and Pakistan will not be traveling to India. Maybe if they make the finals.
 
They should cancel Asia cup- meaningless tournament with meaningless teams. India gets nothing out of it.
 
All these dramas can be prevented if India start visiting Pakistan (which is very safe now as proven by visits of other cricketing nations).

No other cricketing nation causes as much drama as India does. It is quite astonishing really.

:inti
 
India will not host this in India. I don't see why they would want to dilute the home season by hosting this tournament. Most probably this will be hosted in UAE
 
They will not , its very clear .

It's really disappointing to see that we did not see India Pakistan Test series , it could have been a fascinating battle.
 
Tournament won’t happen in India even if it there. India hasn’t hosted an Asia cup for 35 years, why would they start now? In fact India has travelled to Pakistan more recently for Asia cup than Pakistan to India.

I think the tournament is gonna be held in Sri Lanka or the UAE, so Pakistan has nothing to worry about India.

Indians are very patriotic. Just like religion is very sacred for Pakistani people, for Indians it is patriotism. Nothing comes above it. So I think broadcaster will take a hit but not will not force to host Asia cup. Its not as if they will die of hunger and even if that situation arises likes of Ambani and Adani are there to bail them out. They are highly patriotic and this is pocket change for them. Nothing comes over pride of India for Indians.
 
No hybrid model for Asia Cup? All Pakistan games to be held in Dubai? No?

This is something I'll 100% agree with. Like how religion reigns supreme for Pakistanis, for Indians it's patriotism.
 
Tournament will most likely be postponed.

BCCI will likely substitute it with a T20 bilateral with SL/south Africa

Ppers just don't get it.all the TV broadcasters need is one good commercial deal which bcci will promise and fo the time being they will get lanka/eng for a t20 series.
 
Currently except India, all other Asian teams are minnows category..so rather participating the child's play, India should just boycott Asia cup and schedule tri series with Big 3- India, Australia and England or Newzealand..Let these Asian minnows teams fight each other and have fun..Let them play anywhere in the world..
 
Asia Cup likely to be shifted from India to UAE

The Asia Cup 2025 is expected to be hosted by the United Arab Emirates.

Sources divulged on Wednesday that there was a strong possibility that the tournament will take place in the UAE. Reports suggested the Asia Cup may be shifted to the UAE in September.

The Asia Cup is currently scheduled to be held in India. According to a three-year agreement between Pakistan and India, matches will be played at neutral venues.

The Asian Cricket Council is expected to make a decision soon regarding holding the Asia Cup in the UAE.

Why not hold it in Bangladesh again?

Seemed to be a massive hit when it was played there
 
There isn't going to be an Asia Cup for long time now and it is specially sad for smaller countries like Afg/HK whose boards really need income that BCCI gives them for participating.

It would be good if BCCI can invite them for 1-2 bilateral games and generates some revenue for them

Definitely there will be another plan by BCCI if Asia Cup Postponed. :kp
 
Asia cup should go as planned. Maybe in UAE or Sri Lanka but it should happen... Even if there is no india-pak game this time.
 
Official broadcasters Sony Sports reveal Asia Cup 2025 promo and as expected, Pakistan are missing

Not really interested in playing to be frank.

We southasians are a very emotional people i dont know why. Time heals everything.
The war happened yesterday, but future is still clear.
So relax, asia cup will be held in neutral country as well as india will play pakistan also.
These are just smart tactics from BCCI.
 
Lol...what kind of question is this. Ofcourse Pak team should not travel to India. Public anger is at all time high and they might vent it on innocent cricketers. I am not saying it is correct but that is how emotions work. No Pakistani should not travel to India for next 5 years at least.

As far as Asia cup is concerned, I love this tournament and hope it gets played in UAE. India and Pakistan should be in different groups ideally but that will beat the purpose of it. The only reason tournaments like Asia cup, CT etc exists so that India and Pakistan can play.
 
asia cup is not gonna be held in India so relax....

Even if it is in india, it is going to be a hybrid model so RELAX again.
 
2026 wc should be played in India with all Pakistan games being played on doctored pitches tailor made for pakistan in pakistan. If india qualified, final must be played in Pakistan :vk2

Yes it will be played in Sri Lanka or UAE.

If it gets cancelled, BCCI gets to schedule something in September while PCB I read somehwere are arranging a T20 tri-series with Afghanistan & UAE.

Everyone is emotional but people in south asia haven't learned how to cope with it, how to understand and mitigate emotions. The answer to an emotional conversation for south asians is more emotions.

I dont get the ego? The day I made a haunting pun about Indians trampling their own, the next day the trampling event in IPL occurred post final.

While I dont wish for death and that pun was made before that event occurred, pure coincidental timing,

India consistently proves its an unsafe country. From trampling to Brooks pollution complaints to the hilarious start to wc 2023(no intro, scoreboard going missing, bird crap on seats, a rubbish cage that blocks the view), to burning down stadiums.

They've done more terrorist acts then Pakistan had done 😭😭. They aren't even that much higher then PK when it comes to housing terrorists. Pk ranks at no 2, india at no 8, and ironically most of it situated close to the borders so I'm pretty sure indian media swekewed the numbers which many neutral journalists have argued anyway?

We dont associate with terrorists my foot. Biggest hypocrites ive ever seen.
 
The question now should be, Will india participate in Asia cup???
Because Pakistan already not ocming to india for any event as per ICC so India better find another tactic now to either just withdraw the team or many some other excuse.
 
I don't see Asia Cup happening this year.

In September, most probably India will play Sri Lanka or South Africa & Pakistan will play Afghanistan.

Pakistan should take a stand and schedule a series vs Afghanistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh and call it a quad series.

It'll send a strong message to the already morally defeated India that Pakistan has moved on.

Won't happen even when the ACC has Pakistani president/chairman currently, other boards don't have the daring to go against the BCCI.
