The Men’s Asia Cup 2025 is officially happening in the UAE from September 9 to 28, and it’s coming in hot with the T20 format — perfect timing as teams gear up for the ICC T20 World Cup 2026.
ACC President Mohsin Naqvi, who’s also Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief, made the announcement after the ACC meeting in Dhaka. India’s reps joined in virtually (because, yep, politics).
Why the Move From India?
Originally meant to be held in India, the tourney got a venue switch due to India-Pakistan tensions — again. So now, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah are stepping in to host the action.
The Line-Up: Who’s Playing?
Eight teams are in: India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, UAE, Oman, and Hong Kong. And yes, an India vs. Pakistan match (or three!) could be on the cards — group stage, Super Fours, and maybe even the final.
What’s At Stake?
Besides bragging rights, this tournament’s a key prep ground before the 2026 T20 World Cup, co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka. The official match schedule? Coming soon, stay tuned.
