There is a lot of speculation about the Asia Cup match to be played between India and Pakistan. Indian fans demand that Team India not play against Pakistan. However, the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of the Emirates Cricket Board believes that such a situation is unlikely to arise in the Asia Cup.
India did not play against Pakistan in WCL.
Recently, India's Champions refused to play the World Championship of Legends 2025 match against Pakistan. The team refused to play against Pakistan in the first league round. After this, the Yuvraj Singh-led team boycotted the semi-final match against Pakistan, sticking to its decision.
Fans demand - India should not play against Pakistan.
A similar situation seems to be developing in the Asia Cup as well. In this tournament, starting from September 9, the Indian team will start its campaign with a match against the UAE on September 10. After this, the team is to face Pakistan on September 14 at the Dubai International Stadium, while the third match will be played against Oman on September 19 in Abu Dhabi. Indian fans demand that the Indian team refuse to play against Pakistan. However, so far, no information has been given by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on this whole matter.
Response of Emirates Cricket Board official
Meanwhile, Emirates Cricket Board (ECB) Chief Operating Officer (COO) Subhan Ahmed, while talking to The National, said that the chances of the India-Pakistan match being canceled are low. He said, 'We cannot give any guarantee, but it is not right to compare the Asia Cup with a private event like the WCL. When a decision is taken to play in the Asia Cup, government permission is taken in advance. This has been done before the countries announce the schedule. So hopefully we will not be in a situation like the WCL.'
India and Pakistan can clash three times.
India and Pakistan will be placed in the same group in the Asia Cup, where both will clash once. After this, they will get a chance to play one more match against each other in the Super Four stage. If both teams reach the final, then a third match can also be played between them.
Tournament host BCCI
BCCI is the host of this tournament. The tournament is being organized in the United Arab Emirates because, due to the current tension between India and Pakistan, both countries have agreed to play matches only at neutral venues till 2027. Under this, Pakistan was the host of the Champions Trophy in March this year, but India played all the matches in Dubai and won the championship.
