Asia Cup 2025 is probably going to start in September.
The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) is expected to publish the six-team tournament schedule at the beginning of July, the report states.
Additionally, the T20 format tournament is scheduled to start the second week of September. Although there is currently no official date, September 10th is the most likely date for the Asia Cup 2025 to begin.
India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) are among the teams competing in the tournament.
Since India is the official host for this year’s event, the tournament is likely to be played in the UAE, which is expected to host the tournament due to political tensions in the region, with discussions surrounding a hybrid format.
Due to rising tensions with Pakistan, there were earlier rumors that India would skip the 2025 Asia Cup.
India and Pakistan will not compete in the group stage of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, according to a report in the Indian media a few days ago. A source close to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) revealed that the matter will be discussed at the ICC’s annual conference.
Following the Pahalgam terror attack, tensions between India and Pakistan increased.
It is worth noting that the strained ties between the PCB and BCCI have been well documented in recent years, with the latest flashpoint being India’s decision to skip the Champions Trophy hosted by Pakistan.
