In a controversial turn of events, the hashtag ‘Cancel Ind-Pak Match’ has taken over Indian social media platforms just days after the Asian Cricket Council confirmed that the Asia Cup 2025 will be held in the UAE from September 9 to 28. ACC chairman Mohsin Naqvi made the official announcement on Saturday, confirming the T20I tournament structure and revealing that arch-rivals India and Pakistan are placed in the same group.
The grouping has sparked massive outrage, particularly from Indian cricket fans, who are expressing their dissatisfaction in light of recent geopolitical tensions—especially the April Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 Indians. Many are urging the BCCI to reconsider the decision to allow the India vs Pakistan Asia Cup 2025 match to go ahead.
Fans Call for Boycott of India vs Pakistan Asia Cup 2025 Clash
Social media has erupted with fans tagging the BCCI and demanding action. Several users warned they would boycott the match if India proceeds to play against Pakistan, accusing the board of prioritizing cricket over national sentiment.
One user wrote, “Dear BCCI, if you really support our soldiers, cancel the India-Pakistan match or be ready for a mass boycott.” Others called for collective national action, stating, “Don’t just tweet; boycott the India vs Pakistan Asia Cup 2025 game—don’t watch, don’t share, don’t fund it.”
Some fans have gone further, calling the decision to include Pakistan in the tournament “anti-national,” especially since the match is scheduled close to Kargil Vijay Diwas. Critics argue that this move indirectly benefits the PCB financially and sends the wrong message during a sensitive period.
India vs Pakistan Asia Cup 2025: Match Schedule and Format
The Asia Cup 2025 will feature eight teams: India, Pakistan, UAE, Oman, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Hong Kong. Group A includes India, Pakistan, UAE, and Oman, while Group B features Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Hong Kong.
India and Pakistan are set to face off on September 14 during the group stage. If both progress, they could clash again in the Super Four on September 21, and potentially a third time in the Asia Cup final.
While the sporting world anticipates these high-voltage matches, the political climate and fan backlash are creating serious doubts about how things will unfold for India vs Pakistan Asia Cup 2025.
