Tensions between India and Pakistan have escalated further after the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir, where nearly 28 people were killed and many were injured. This led to debate over whether India should continue participating in any cricket matches involving Pakistan.
The Asian Cricket Council is currently led by Pakistan’s Interior Minister and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman, Mohsin Naqvi. Team India’s withdrawal is seen as a strategic response to the growing tensions between the two nations. The Men’s Asia Cup 2025 is set to be played in September this year.
India and Pakistan Last Faced Off in the 2025 Champions Trophy in Dubai
India last toured Pakistan in 2008 for the Asia Cup. The Indian government and BCCI refused to send the team to Pakistan for the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy. India played their matches in Dubai, including a clash against Pakistan, which they won by six wickets before clinching the tournament title.
Fans React as BCCI Pulls Out of Asia Cup 2025
The BCCI's decision to pull out of ACC tournaments has triggered reactions across social media. Many fans called the move a strategy to isolate Pakistan from international cricket. With India opting out, there is growing speculation that the ACC may be forced to cancel the Asia Cup.
