Asia Cup 2025 LIVE, BCCI, ACC Meeting: A key meeting between the BCCI, Asian Cricket Council, PCB and other member boards is underway to decide the fate of the Asia Cup 2025. The tournament was set to be played in India, but was put in jeopardy after the India-Pakistan ties hit a new low following the Pahalgam attack. There were calls to boycott Pakistan in all global events, including Asia Cup and the World Cup, raising serious concerns about whether the tournament will be played or not.

The BCCI also stayed mum and said that the decision will be taken after consultation with the government of India; however, the board dropped hints that they might soften their stance and play Pakistan in global events. First, BCCI secretary Devajit Saika refused rumours of India boycotting Pakistan in the Asia Cup, and later, the BCCI also agreed to attend the ACC meet in Dhaka virtually.

A soft template for the Asia Cup was also released, with India and Pakistan set to meet on September 7. The tournament was set to start on September 5, according to the initial schedule. However, latest reports suggest the tournament could be played between September 8 to 28. India were the host of the event, but the tournament won’t be played in the country due to Pakistan’s refusal to play in India. If given a green signal, Dubai or the UAE can play as a host.
