After a long interval from international cricket, Indian fans will finally see the Men in Blue back in action next week at the 2025 Asia Cup in the UAE.
Led by Suryakumar Yadav, the defending champions have been drawn into Group A alongside hosts UAE, Oman, and arch-rivals Pakistan.
Team India will begin their campaign on September 10 against the UAE, but all eyes are fixed on September 14, when India and Pakistan meet at the Dubai International Stadium. The high-voltage clash carries added significance this time, marking the first encounter between the two sides since the Pahalgam terror attack, which had strained geopolitical relations.
Meanwhile, the Asian Cricket Council has opened ticket sales for the tournament, offering fans three main packages. The first, priced from AED 475 (₹11,000), includes all Group A fixtures.
The second, starting at AED 525 (₹12,500), grants access to all Super 4 matches. The third, also priced from AED 525, is a premium bundle covering two Super 4 clashes (September 25 and 26) and the final on September 28.
India’s Squad for Asia Cup 2025:
Surya Kumar Yadav (C), Shubman Gill (VC), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Jitesh Sharma (WK), Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy, Kuldeep Yadav, Sanju Samson (WK), Harshit Rana, Rinku Singh
