Asia Cup 2025: After winning two consecutive ICC trophies and delivering a stellar performance in Test matches in England, the Indian team is set for another significant challenge in the form of the Asia Cup 2025, which will take place in the UAE from September 9. Although India was initially scheduled to host the event, it will now be held in the UAE and Dubai to ensure the smooth conduct of the tournament, according to ACC chief Mohsin Naqvi. The tournament will be played in the T20 format instead of the ODI format used in the previous edition.

India, which will start the tournament as defending champions, will play the first major tournament after the retirement of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja, as all the pressure will be on the shoulders of the young Indian brigade of Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma and Sanju Samson, with Suryakumar Yadav leading the charge.
However, the Indian captain's playing time is still uncertain due to a hernia surgery earlier this year. He returned to the field at the NCA in Bengaluru late last month but is yet to be deemed match-fit by the BCCI. Apart from this, it is also reported that India's top pacer Jasprit Bumrah will be ruled out of the tournament due to injury. However, both these questions will only be answered when India announce their official squad for the competition.
