India-Pakistan Asia Cup Clash Likely in September – UAE to Host Tournament

The much-awaited India vs Pakistan Asia Cup showdown is likely to take place in September 2025—and cricket fans should mark UAE on their maps!

At the Asian Cricket Council’s (ACC) Annual General Meeting held in Dhaka on Thursday, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed that the 2025 Asia Cup will be hosted in the UAE, with matches expected in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Why UAE?

The Asia Cup was initially planned for India, but logistical challenges and geopolitical tensions pushed the tournament to a neutral venue. UAE emerged as the preferred choice due to its top-class facilities and accessibility for all teams.

Key Highlights from the Meeting:

  • India-Pakistan matches to be played at UAE venues like Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
  • BCCI attended the meeting virtually, reaffirming its active role in ACC decisions.
  • Sri Lanka Cricket also joined via video call, while attempts to block a quorum failed thanks to ACC President Mohsin Naqvi.
  • The move ensures boards can now finalize their annual schedules without uncertainty.

With this decision, the stage is set for another epic India-Pakistan contest on neutral ground—a treat for millions of fans worldwide!
