Asia Cup 2025: the Indian government abandons BCCI

Only a few days after the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) published the official calendar of the next Asia CUP 2025, a major turn shaken the preparations for the subcontinental tournament.

While the highly anticipated Indian and Pakistani match is scheduled for September 14, uncertainty is now looming if this clash of the Asian 2025 Cup will even take place.

The Ministry of Sports and Youth Affairs clearly indicated that the final decision on India’s participation against Pakistan lies in the Cricket Control Council in India (BCCI), not by the government.

Your daily cricket dose!

The solely awaited national governance of national governance bill, which would give the government the power to intervene in such questions, is still stuck in Parliament.

The government changes responsibility to the BCCI on the game of India vs Pakistan in Asia Cup 2025

Until the National Sports Governance Bill is adopted, the BCCI remains outside the control of the Ministry of Sports and Youth Affairs, which means that the board of directors can individually take the call for high -voltage formulation vs Pakistan during the next Asian Cup 2025.

If the proposed bill is adopted in Parliament, it will give authority to the Ministry of Sports to prevent Indian athletes from participating in international events in “extraordinary circumstances”, and this clause could directly affect India VS Pakistan Games in the future.

Meanwhile, the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) inserted the archival in the same group in the next 2025 Asian Cup, creating three potential games from India vs Pakistan on September 14 in the league phase on September 21 in the Super 4S, and perhaps a final if the two do.

“A bullet and a ball cannot go together”

But with high -end emotions after the tragic terrorist attack in Pahalgam and Operation Sindoor, fans are strongly opposed to India’s participation against Pakistan in any sporting event. The debate even entered the Parliament, the deputy Asuaddin Owaisi raising serious questions about the match India vs Pakistan.

Even Congress MP, Pramod Tiwari, has raised concerns about the pursuit of cricket ties with Pakistan in the midst of growing security threats, declaring: “A bullet and a ball cannot go together.”

However, the Indian government insisted that there is no objection to India faced in Pakistan in multi-to-noble tournaments, but it is necessary to find a balance between public indignation and international commitments in such sentimental questions.

We will see how the BCCI reacts to public feeling: the Ministry of Sports

A source from the Ministry of Sports has been cited by PTI: “For the moment, the BCCI is not a matter of the scope of the Ministry of Sports, because the National Sports Governance Bill must be adopted. So the ministry does not have a say, but we will wait and see how the BCCI reacts to public feeling. ”

Well, India’s attempt to host the 2036 Olympic Games, which requires complete membership of the Olympic Charter, including competition with all member nations, including Pakistan – makes the question still complicated. Even the diffusers feel the pressure.

Without the India VS Pakistan games with high tension, they will undergo massive financial losses, endangering the source of income for the advice of ACC and its members.

With the Asian Cup 2025 approaching, all eyes are now on the BCCI’s decision as to whether they will continue the scheduled calendar.
